Look out! Toy Steamroller

Look out!

My third model, this is a toy version of a steamroller. My toddler is into everything vehicle and I was thinking of all the construction vehicles he'd like, and this is one of them!

Assembly is a little more complicated than the others.

Assemble the frame for the roller: 

Place the pins in the outer “frame”, connect everything with glue. 

Place the roller in the middle, slide the big pin in, add some glue to the part of the pin that's sticking out and the hole at the end where the pin will sit in. I'd let this sit and cure for as long as the glue takes.

Assemble the body:

Add the alignment pins into the ‘sides’, add glue on the main middle body part and press the sides with pins into the main body. Let this dry for as long as the glue you're using says.

For the wheels, add glue into the main body part where the pin will slide in, put the pin through the wheel and push the pin into the main body, making sure no glue squeezes out causing the wheel to be glued to the body or the pin so it can spin freely.

Once everything is set, add glue into the main body above the opening where the big wheel arm will sit. Slide the wheel arm in and slide the pin through, making sure no glue squeezes out attaching the arm to anything. The arm should swing back and forth freely. 

CHOKING HAZARD: This model contains small parts that are easy to choke on. Never leave your child unattended while playing with this toy!
