Default My New Fleet

I have been trying to come up with some new ideas for my little toy business. I had made some tiny boxy looking cars once and then forgot about them. So, I decided to bring the idea back, but I wanted something with a little more character.

So, here's my new fleet. I call them pocket cars because they fit right in your pocket.

Those look fantastic!!!!
I'm glad that you put a quarter beside them. Even though you said that they fit in your pocket, I still thought they were bigger.
I like the one on the top right the best.

They're so cute! My little ones would be crazy about those! You did a great job on them.

I'm glad you put the quarter next to them too. That really helps.

Thanks everybody. I used some old growth pine, so the grain was really close together, but they are so small that it looks like open grain.

I made twenty of them, but my partner says it's not enough. We'll see.

Cool! Wooden Match cars! I love those Keeo! Do you paint them or just leave them natural?

Oh, and don't forget the school bus!!!

I started out painting them, but my grandson has informed me that they should be left plain. More magic marker fun for the kiddos.

You can have your little wooden "punch buggy". We'll see how well you do off the line against me and my spiffy wooden drag racer. (Gee, which one is my favourite?)

Great job Pinokeeo
