Need a couple of those for my AgCom facility, along with tractor trailer versions. 

Excellent work !

Thank You!    How many is a "couple"?  ;) :D

This was done on the "Fly".  I started with a tube of 1/2 inch styrene stock. And than, downloaded a pic from a google image search (for detail placement).  All of the other detail parts, were taken from my "Petro-Chemical Tin of Joy" (my popcorn tin full of styrene stock) :P 8)

They run more TT than Class B trucks, so 1 or 2 would probably suffice.  Here's an overhead shot, showing only 1 truck like this in the group to the right, with another class B truck to the left, but a dump body with tarp.

Thinking this would be candidate for a 3D print body

Big leap forward in progress on the Cincinnatian. Figured out how to convert a CDR image into an STL file. Now I can import scaled drawings into tinker cad and save a lot of initial work.

First attempt and drawing a passenger car. (baggage) I am going to redraw this with the things I learned tonight which should streamline the process a bit. This is mainly just proof that I can do it. No w to do it right without having to correct mistakes I made along the way.

Very good Tony, but how did you convert them?  Others here use Corel Draw too.  :)

https://cloudconvert.com/cdr-to-svg

Converts a 2d vector into a 3d SVG  file which Tinker cad can then import.

Turns this....

Thanks Tony!  I'll have to look into that.  I dabbled in SketchUp, but I know others use TinkerCAD.
