The South African Toylander Men

I am pleased to say there are quite a few of us these days but the picture of Andrew and Nigel show the two main guys,Andrew (red shirt) started it all really,he bought a set of plans from Richard at Real Life Toys,England,then asked CKD Boats to look at CNC cutting it for him.I then called in Nigel of Digicut to see what features we could introduce to ease Andrews ease of build, without taking any of the Toylander features away.Nigel used a system off our Didi Mini Transat boat kit interior parts,namely the 'finger Joint system' with those we could have basically a clip together car kit.

Andrew was the guy who had to see if it worked and when the build featured in last Novembers Popular Mechanics,it was Andrew we turned to for the use of his built up car,due to the succes of that magazine issue, more plans and kits were sold by us as a result. again we asked Andrew what changes we could make,with he and Nigel working together its just about perfect now.
