Hi to all.
I have been decorating my son's bedroom and really liked the idea of a mini themed room. I decided to browse the web for mini themed beds and was surprised att the lack of them. So set about making my own.
Here are a few pics of my progress so far.

That's beans! I like the way it's kept real by having the gutter rail completely rotted away!
If she'll let me, I'm building us one of them, on Tuesday

@minidream94
Yep i drew from a photo of my old car.
Also the plan was always to put working lights and indicators on it but
the interior light idea is great. :) Defo putting one in.
Thanks.
