KJ790 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Calling this one done. Started as a Moebeus Great Dane. I scratch built the rear doors, landing gear, and Carrier unit. Rims and tires are the ones I sell on my website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher J Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 The trailer looks excellent!! I have a couple in my stash for upcoming builds. Do you by chance have any build picks of the trailer doors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ790 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) The trailer looks excellent!! I have a couple in my stash for upcoming builds. Do you by chance have any build picks of the trailer doors? Here is what I have, not the clearest pictures. The first picture is with the door frame built with the "tile" pattern styrene glued in place. I glued .020" thick strips of styrene across the where the hinges go to imitate the "straps" that Utility uses where their hinges mount. I also made a vent door out of styrene. I then covered the whole thing in bare metal foil and painted the straps across the back gray. I made hinges using .010" thick styrene strip and styrene rod, then painted them silver. At this point I added my decals. I then made the door cams and handles using styrene rod and thin strips for the mounting points. For the handles I filed some .080"x.080" square rod into the shape I wanted. Edited January 12, 2015 by KJ790 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
