Instructions

The Sketchup models are full size so you can scale however you like, the photos are 1:24th printings with steampunk engines made from junk. There are plenty of model engines out there if you want something more conventional. You should able be able to mix and match between the two vehicles. I'd recomment printing the peices out seperately and then assembling but I include a mostly complete model if you prefer.

The tops of the windows are delicate so be careful when cleaning around them. Otherwise it was just a case of printing the parts, attaching the chassis parts to the body, assembling the axles, painting, assembling the cab interior, glazing, wheels and roof last.

If you cut the front axles carefully you can use some wire to make a pivot and make the steering turn. Both vehicles in the photos have this done to them.

The doors are made with front and rear hinges so you can have normal or suicide style doors. You might even be able to make them work but in 1:24th the hinges are too brittle,

The wires between the radiator and bulkhead are just painted wire but are typical of the real ones and provide strength to the radiator just like the real ones do.

Details and engines are not included and made from spare parts, I should have taken photos before painting and engine installation but I forgot!

Printed in 1:24th, should print bigger with no problems but don't think they will go a lot smaller, I couldn't get them to print in 1:48th!
