    I have not even started on my Bud rig but I have found another that I just can't resist. The problem is I have not found any 3d printer artist that offers what I think is a KW T880 tractor and a trailer even close. I am not concerned with the casks as I can DIY those. Decals may be an issue. At any rate here it is :

    Awesome!

    You'll need a purple drawstring bag to store it in!

    TB has been agonizingly slow. Ugh.

    That is a beautiful rig. I’m looking forward to seeing these projects come to life.

    It’s been slow for me for several days, beginning maybe two days after they resolved their certificate issue.

    Looks like you are (were?) well stocked, but you never know... Might want to stock up in case of an emergency!

    Of course, it would be purely for medicinal purposes... you know, like whatever may ale you.

    So...

    What's the plan for making the miniature barrels?

    Aren't they supposed to be charred oak? ;^)

    And then heating the hoops in a forge, slipping them into place, and cooling them with water... yep, that could get tricky.

    Seriously though, I'm looking forward to following your progress on this project!

    Andy,
    You nailed it, that is exactly what I was thinking about doing. Yea sure, with my wonky fingers and hands, they shake so bad sometime that I don't need to shake a drink.

    I have been searching on the internet and have found some pretty good examples, that I can massage and make into one decal to wrap around some PVC pipe or something like that.
    Andy, my family and I lived in Arlington 1972-1977, just South of 303 and just North of Vandergriff park and Library. That area has changed a great deal since we left.

    Yeah, Arlington has changed a lot over the years. My dad lived in Arlington in the '30s. He showed us where he had picked strawberries as a kid for spending money, in farm fields along either side of S Cooper, starting just south of what is now Pioneer Pkwy. They moved in with his grandmother in Dallas when his dad went to India, to command the HQ Co in a Railway Operating Battalion in Tinsukia during WWII. They never moved back to Arlington after the war.

    The house where they lived in on S Oak St in Arlington was demolished by the University of Texas at Arlington for a married student apartment building. Later those were demolished to build Kalpana Chawla Hall on the campus. I remember seeing the house once as a kid, being used as a State Farm Insurance office, back in the early '70s, and later as the apartments. And we occasionally park in the lot across from KC Hall for various functions.
