Two Twenty Tonners

Sid is dwarfed by the size of the thing !

Following on the theme of "twos" from last week's post, here are two more vehicles to assist in the ultimate gridlock of my fictional city of Perdition.
I may have taken a bit of a liberty with the title as I suspect that these models are probably more like the forty ton behemoths that we see on our motorways.

Like the Tuk-Tuks I posted about last week, these too were a gift, this time from my #1 Son and for what reason I don't know (or care).
They're a little on the large size, which doesn't bother me in the slightest and are probably about 1/43rd scale.

As can be seen the trailer part of the vehicle detaches from the cab, with its own folding down supports to make it free-standing
This front view of the cab clearly shows it to be a left-hand drive, something I'll have to ignore in my games as they're set in the US.
I could of course paint out the windows as many gamers do, but that would require more effort than I can currently muster !

From the photograph above it's obvious that the rear door of the trailer opens but the cab also has a tilting cab, revealing a fairly detailed engine - a nice feature.



And just in case you're wondering why the title says "two", here they both are in the photograph below:

No guessing from which chain of supermarkets they were purchased from but you'll have to look up the price yourself - I'm sure they would be out of my usual price range.
From the packaging that came with them, there are four, differing only by what they advertise.

Whilst I may not have done much, if anything since my enforced break from blogging at the end of March, I was up until then working towards a new project, which I have recorded on a separate blog that can be seen here.
