#28d just finished
Here's a look at my #28d Mack Dump Truck that I just finished. I screwed this one up just about every way that I could, but it still came out looking better than what I started with, and learned a few things NOT to do when restoring a Matchbox. The whole story with pictures is on the website "MatchboxRX" https://wordpress.com/view/matchbox3598 ... dpress.com, if you're interested.
Here's what it looked like when I started:

Hi Thomas:
I'm sorry about the link not working... when I went to edit the post, I checked the link and it's correct... the number is right, and it opens for me in the edit window. I added a space, maybe that will work.
You can always do a search for "MatchboxRX" in google, and that should show it. I'm not quite sure what's the deal with my Wordpress site, because I normally get ZERO traffic. I've done a sitemap and submitted it, but that hasn't seemed to help, but at least it shows up in a google search now. I'm not very good with this stuff.

Same with me, nothing showing in the link.
When you joined the forum and placed a link to your website with restored matchbox models it worked fine for me. I have gone back to it through Google and placed a link here so see if this one works.

Works for me now so just scroll down to below the Site Hut Roof article and the Mack Dumper Truck is there.

Ghosthunter-
Thanks! I changed the link to the main website page, rather than the specific Mack Dumper page... maybe that'll work.

Re: #28d just finished
Nice work on the dump truck but what impresses me more is the roof for the site hut.
I like it.
I like it.
Re: #28d just finished
My next trick will HOPEFULLY be an entire replacement site hut, with walls, windows, the whole works. Not that big a deal on paper, but it remains to be seen if I can pull it off in practice.
