One or two over the years maybe but many of the WPL or similar based truck models that appear on the forum are often lacking a little where they retain some of the original running gear and / or electrics. Even some of the scratch built models seem to bounce around like they are on pogo sticks. Just a critical observation. This is where 1/16 falls behind 1/10th or even 1/14th! :|

But, it can be resolved but not cheaply.

"Ourselves." Does that mean you would be entering the TOTM in February if I set it up?

For February, yes l'd be happy to. I think you should, on our behalf, put it to the vote though, just as you did for the Tiger month.

Then for March you could introduce a military boat completion and for April a fighter aircraft, and May a scale model ice cream van. It's really not up to me is it? Is there anyone else who would enter a truck competition?

Planes, boats, now you're being silly :/ mind you, a submarine of the month may be good, with blurry underwater pictures, and a little periscope causing a wake across a few ponds could be entertaining :think:

But, if it will get someone to submit that's never submitted in any TOTM's before, a Truck Of The Month is well worth attention :D

I didn't think the Mr Whippy van idea was silly, after all, the troops would have been far away from home, and in need of extra curriculum activities :D
