Beer barrel truck model

This is a truck carrying barrels of beer for my brew house. The only commercial parts are the wheels, the steering wheel, and the barrels.  The rest is mostly wood and card stock with metal wire for the axles.  I used photos of old beer trucks for my modeling inspiration.  I do not know why the barrels are tilted on the truck instead of upright but that is how they looked in the photos I saw.

There is a plastic windshield.  The fenders were made from file folder card stock and shaped then coated with white glue to hold the shape.  

Below is an old photo of a beer barrel truck.

This blog site is getting harder to use.  If you want to send me a comment or question without posting it on the blog send it to skmdlrr@gmail.com.  That seems to work.  

 Now again I need to figure out what to ankle next. 

Brew house model

 I decided to make the model I started a brew house - that is a small beer brewery.  The rear structure  has two floors.  The lower floor is where the beer is brewed and the upper floor is where the  barrels of beer are stored.  The original front structure is an office and tasting room.  

The doorway in the upper left has a lift which has a pallet with ropes for raising and lowering the beer barrels.  There are interior details in both the upper and lower sections of the rear structure but they are hard to see other than in person.

Above are the barrels inside the lower section.  The figure is there to show the size.  They are all I built but there would be a lot more in reality.  

This is a view of the right side.  There is a door to the brew section at the back of the overhang.  

Now to decide what to build next.  This took longer than expected as I had some time consuming personal business to attend to.
