johnbuzzed Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 With apologies to Sandra Lee, the trailer is semi-homemade. I used the bed from the Lindberg '34 Ford pickup and fabricated a frame from Evergreen square styrene stock. I don't remember if the springs and axle are from my parts box or fabricated. The taillight brackets were fabricated from aluminum (Coke can material); they were left unpainted because I wanted them that way. The simple wiring harness was also fab'd from wire and aluminum tubing. Wheels and old Firestones are from my parts box and the license plate was computer-generated. The trailer was brush-painted one of Testors FS greens, the bed is a forgotten shade of brown and light weathering was applied. Stuff in the trailer is from my parts box. The wagon is a resin repop of the original item from the Orange Blossom Special kit. The handle and front wheels are posable and the wheels are from a Hot Wheels pickup. Decals are from my stash. http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbuzzed Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Thanks for the compliments. Rob, I have a '72 GMC pickup bed trailer in the works, but it has a bit of a warp to it. I'm not holding my breath for that one but I'm not gonna give up on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
