Whew it’s John Deere colors. I thought it was Packers colors for a moment there

What are your shipping cost? I need one in Miami dolphins colors.

Only like 2000 dollars in diesel for the pickup truck round trip

I built one very similar. Except I am super stupid. It doesn't fit in my honda civic at all.

I definitely spent more time thinking if I could build it rather than if I should.

Thanks for the positive reviews! I painted it to match my John Deere lawn mower. Only cost about $85 for the wood. Sealed it with enamel paint. I have a cap on my truck bed and it fits under it perfect.

Thought I had taken a pic of the underside but will have to take one tomorrow.

Nice job, especially with the JD paint scheme! The JD decals are a great touch.

The top edge is actually square but appears not because of the bottom layer not cut straight. I used some wood I had laying around to help build it. I used wood glue on the edge of each support deck rail and 2x4 on the back. I'm going to store it under a lean-to attached to my shed and that's why I over did the paint job to protect it. I'm OCD on making things last.

Looks fairly robust for 1/8 scale rigs. I recently wrecked my ramp sending 8s rigs off it. Back to the drawing board for me.
