Vintage Lesney Trucks

[68383]

Hi, fellas. I’m looking for some input.

I’m working on a Christmas gift for my dad. He played with trucks identical to these as a kid, so I bought some nice ones, along with reproduction boxes.

What layout for these trucks and boxes looks best to you?

I’ll stain the bases and probably put down sand or “asphalt.” Then attach the boxes and wire the trucks to the bases.

Thanks.

I like the second pic myself.

The second pic looks good, to me.
Have you given any thought to putting a recessed miniature disc on the base that would rotate? That way, you could change the position of the rucks, so that all angles could be seen.

I did think of that, just not sure about it since the box obstructs so much visibility from the back side.

I like the second one the best as well... your Dad is gonna be very happy!!!
