October 2017 KoolWheelz Release Party!

[airdave]

I guess you can call it whatever you want.
I'm okay with that.

But, just to be anal about it....
it is not a Milk Tanker...it is a Delivery Van.
Door on the back.
Racks inside.
Carries Milk Crates and Bottles.

Anyway, I gave you a Tanker!?

Next KoolWheelz model is ready to go...

same deal as before, I want to see some activity.
A couple of builds of the Milk Truck would be nice.
Even half built would be cool.

I just want to get people involved and see that I am not just producing models for hoarders.
I want to know people are enjoying building my models!

lol

But I know that some of you are preparing for the upcoming IPMC
and dealing with life and other work...
so you guys get a pass (if you need it).

Its only Wednesday...lets see if we can put out another model next weekend.

follow-up


wow...the Milk Truck is moving like Hot Cakes!
lots of downloads in only 24 hours (or less)!

usually new models have an immediate surge...maybe a quick 6-12 downloads.
then nothing for a day or two.

Then they will slowly start to get downloaded over the next few months and years
building to an amount reflecting the overall interest and popularity.

The Milk Truck isn't what I would have guessed to be a "popular" model
but there has been a steady download of two to three dozen models so far.
(I actually only have stats for the first 12 hours...I won't know the next days stats until tomorrow)

So, surprisingly, the Milk Truck is a big hit!

I'd print and build a milk truck now myself, but I'm out of ink. So, all I can do is say Thank You very much, Dave. I was one of the people who voted for it in the first place.

now there's just one problem with it were are the cookies???

Working on the milk truck now. Noticed the the dotted line should be a valley fold and the dashed line should be a mountain fold instead of how they are designated on the page. No biggy. A quick peruse of the parts page will show that.

Nice that you included some optional parts to give more depth to the front bumper and a more 3D look to the tires.

The sides glued to the chasis with no problems. Just take your time and move along section by section instead of trying to glue everything at once. A good alignment check is the bumber extension printed on the sides in front of the front tires. Make sure that little bit of color aligns with the graphic of the front bumper.

With a little recolor, it would make a great beer truck!

Dammit! the Fold legend is reversed on the Milk Truck.

My Mountain Folds are always dashed lines.
Valley Folds are dotted.

....

I forgot to add, there is an Assembly sheet for this one too!
It'll be available in the koolWheelz section at my forum.
