Matchstick Modelling build of a 12 ton Steam Roller built from, yes you've guessed, matchsticks, and a lot of patience. These matchstick kits are not scale models and they benefit from some additions.
The wheels were modified, the kit ones did not look realistic
Steering gear was added this was totally omitted from the kit
Additions were made to the footplate it was bare in the kit
A coal bunker was added as there is no provision for one in the kit
All in all this was one of the most enjoyable kits I've built, but I suppose that's because there were so many alterations and additions, I do love a bit of scratch building.
