12 ton Steam Roller

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.

Thank you for your kind words and I'm pleased you enjoy my channel. There are four more matchstick kits in the stash now so I shall be continuing to build models and post videos for a while yet. Best wishes Vic.

Why didn't you do the 10th and Final video for your Titanic build?

[@vicparratt7523]

Your comment puzzles me as I have never built a model of the Titanic, so where did you see the other 9 videos. Are you sure you have the right UA-cam channel. Best wishes Vic.
