What a load of garbage

Had a strange request for a little boy who loves garbage trucks so Monday I started this little project and completed about 1/2hour ago. It also doubles up as a money box.

Many know that I enjoy making things like this. At least I can now get back to the Rob Roy loco.

That's very nice, I think you should tell the little boy you couldn't do it and keep it for yourself. :devil::devil::devil:
