    TOOLS: A big hear, patience, to work, reasonably inexpensive, and ‘comes in a variety of sizes. Another goal was to reduce the need for the use of measurements during the construc- tion process. The directions and visual information offered here are intended to bea general guide through the pro- cess, with a large part of the instruc tion coming from the drawings. You'll probably think of a number of ways to add style and variation to your versions. A basic foundation Most of the design time and energy for this project was spent coming up with a way to easily make the fender assembly, because I thought it would be the most difficult part of the truck to make, As it turns out, the fender is 1. Do whatever is necessary to remove the “non-fender” material. Don't just ‘cut to the line, cutit out. 2. The popsicle sticks helps ensure one ‘flat sie. Cut the sticks off with the second cut, the easiest part to make. It's the foun- dation of the entire truck, and multiple copies are easily cut out ofa single piece of %" stock. To start, copy, cut out and glue the fender profiles below to the edges of your %" board (Fig 1). Do as many on a single board as your equipment ¢9n silly amc accyrately hartlleThis helps / rediice time and waste whertmaking — more than one set of fefiders And as a general rule, sanding multiple parts is easier when they are attached together at various stages of construction. Let me say here that I designed the parts and the steps using the Proxxon. miniature tools, so using other tools may require different procedures and precautions. Gluing the patterns to the stock should make it easier, no matter what tools you use, Hood and radiator assemblies ‘The truck hood is simply a section of 1" dowel with three sides cut off. Follow the pattern on as long a dowel as is comfortable, and just cut off lengths of hood in whatever number you need. To make sure the first cut is flat (the dowel could twrist while being cut), glue 2 couple of large popsicle sticks to the bottom of the dowel to keep it from spinning (Fig 2). The radiator is done in the same fashion: Start with %" stock, cut to the pattern specs, and lop off as many as you need. Notice how these processes lend them+ selves well to mass production.

Yes, I said “cuteness.” Just as Mother Nature gives youngsters large eye and head proportions to help elicit nurtur ing responses from parents, I've given these trucks some exaggerated features to give them kid appeal, Even though we're not making these for ourselves, (right?), the cuteness factor will be Fender profiles - side and front at A at 171 cutout 1 1 wei te “ 1 ‘ } ete x2 arcae x14" 1 a “ ‘ameter
