Has anyone built any of the construction models from Wood Mag?

Post by Ed in Tampa »

Wood magazine has posted about 13 or more wooden models of construction equipment. Everything from trucks to high lift cranes.
Has anyone build any of the plans?

All I can contribute here is I have bought plans from WC and RC and a few others, I have gotten all my money back!! Dimensions where off, and inconsistent, you had to really look and proof read them first and look for all that.

Here's a pic. I have done two of these trucks for my Daughter-in-Law's pre school class.
