How about a family photo with the yellow daycab?

Thank Travis! Thank for noticing the missing step I tried for a good while to make one. I gave up after 4 hours of trying to figure how to mount it

Is the 1:1 still around so you can get a photo of the 2 together? Can't wait to see what you do next, this one will be hard to beat.
Thank! I sold the real truck over 3 years ago.
