All the scale size bee boxes and pallets wouldn't be too bad, but all them little bitty bees might be a bit of a challenge!
I got it....
A KENworth big rig....

You guys are guessing on a flat piece of board and a couple of axles. You must learn patience grass hopper. And no, it's not a big rig @ripjack13
It is a kind of truck though.
I know what it is! A truck to haul all of @Don Ratcliff 's curly koa away.
Nope... Colin's already hauled it all off in a little bitty U-Haul truck.

STILL WAITING ON SOME GLUE SLINGING!!!!!!
It's no wonder your model build threads are 200 posts long....they're 2/3's guessing game, and 1/3 work.

Well, due to some complaining......I won't mention any names, but his initials are @Steve Walker , I have hurried in to post today's update on this build so that we can get back to some "glue slinging".
I made a bit of progress today with give the engine compartment it's final shape as well as getting the front grill and radiator cut and installed. I also put the finishing touches on the front grill and glued the whole thing in place. I also was able to get both of the front fenders cut, shaped and installed so we are coming along nicely. I also turned the parts needed for the 2 fuel tanks and assembled them but they won't be installed until a little later on in the build. I have the day off work tomorrow so I am hoping to get some more done on this build then. Stay tuned guys.

This makes me happy....

@Kenbo.....say one of us other guys or gals here at WB decided to venture into your world of what would seem to be maddening tedium of cutting/fitting/finishing a multitude of tiny parts, I do have one question......
Will any color of lighter work, or does it have to be blue?
Oh yeah....thanks for getting the glue bottle going today, looking forward to tomorrow's accomplishments.

If any of you decide to venture down this slippery slope of sloppiness, you can use whatever coloured lighter you little heart desires.
A lighter is a lighter,
with colours dark and pale.
The colour doesn't matter,
it's only there for scale.
So grab yourself some poplar,
some maple and some glue.
And don't forget your lighter
can be red or can be blue.
Be sure to pack your patience,
when a model you do make.
'Cause being in a hurry
Will be a big mistake.
Take your pics and post them
For all the world to see.
But don't forget the lighter
if you want to be like me.
I'll close this poem with one more thought,
and this my friends is true.
The lighter's unimportant
The important thing is you.
You left out the verse about dust bustin between every cut though! 
Dang it. I was going to guess a blue butane tanker truck!!
