I've recently done a lot of work on my website - https://grahamsmith1403.wixsite.com/...ortpapermodels. Please have a look - especially at the trucks section, which has been re-vamped with lots of new vehicles.

Very nice. Ever thought of doing any older trucks. I'm looking for a good Mack R600

I wish I had seen your 40-foot containers before I developed my own...

Okay, well, looking at old trucks, I have two difficulties. Firstly, there are few photos that are good enough for me to model from (I have looked for "blueprint" style pictures, with no success...) and secondly, old trucks like the Bedford pictured below generally have very complex curved bodywork, and I'm not such a good modeller that I could reproduce this in scales of 1-100th to 1-76th. Units like the Daf and Mercedes are boxy and easy to reproduce.
As far as US trucks like the Mack are concerned, I suppose I could do those, but I am more into British and Continental lorries.
