I bought the plan for this truck from WoodCraft and basically made a direct copy, only i threw in a little ambrosia maple in the bed of the truck just because i wanted to use up some scrap that i had and i thought it looked prettu cool. But i made this starting with rough lumber and it was a pretty cool process going from where i started with the wood to this final product. its roughly about 8” tall x 5” wide x 17” (give or take, i didn’t measure it just now that’s just my guess because I’m too lazy to get up and go look right now lol)
but most Importantly i made this project for my son and he loves it! he just turned 1 and a half so he rolls it all over the place, but i have to keep an eye on him cuz he tries to stand on it.

Very well done. I like the button marker lights.
Very playable—not just for the shelf!
Now you will have to do the “TaNadar” toy box like my avatar. Or some of a similar idea. I have made a 30’s style roadster and vintage firetrucks along the same idea. Happy to help if I can with ideas.
They were made without plans just winged them. The smallest of them was over 6 feet long.
