Previously: ([DIY & Creativity] Progress 2: Beverly’s Ice cream Truck and a helpful tool)
Finally finished Beverly’s Ice cream truck. I love everything about it- the beauty, details and nostalgic feel, but—-
As I was installing the roof, I accidentally broke the sides of the windshield. No matter what I did, I ended up re-glueing and re-breaking the same spots over and over again.
So I ended up literally cutting off the tabs of the top part of the windshield. I added butterflies to cover the damages, lol. The roof finally fit perfectly.
I think the ice cream menus are by far one of my favorites. There’s something endearing about flipping the pages and reading the actual menus.
And yeah, the wheels work!
Thanks everyone for reading. And thanks @robotime for a very lovely and nostalgic kit.

Oh no to bad that the windshield broad. Luckily you could camouflage it with the butterflies. Nice build!

All day. Everyday. With every kit, there is always something new to ‘tackle’.

It’s not really that thin, but the tabs above the windshield are in an awkward position. So it didn’t really help at all trying.
