I found this picture on the net last night and just had to do it.



I was going to go with yelloe but Spouse says it has to be pink. Will still do all the doo dads with it.







It is not any one camper. I am adding a few of the Shasta special items inside. I know it is tight but what can you do in 10 feet, still have the bed in the back and the details outside. Not totally sure how far I will go with the jellouse (sp) windows.
BTW: started about 10 this morning so it isnt that difficult a build. A week end project. it is all simple straight cuts so would be good project for first time scratch building.

WoW! Now that brings back memories. We had a Shasta when I was like three years old.
Okay...I was hoping that pic was a little clearer and might have helped with some details...oh well.

You did that since 10 this morning?! Wow! Incredible work! I'm thinking this and your Airfloat with 1950's tow vehicles would make a great 1950's campground diorama!

here I was thinking how hard could it be to do a slide on pick up camper

nice job

A diorama sounds fun, but i would like to have a nice vintage looking sign. I remember that in "The Last Starfighter" they had that sign in the opening scenes and thought that might be the type I am wanting. Simple net search and ...........nothing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,nada,,,,,,,,,,,,,trailer court signs, never heard of them....................mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...................................image search,,,,web search,,,,,,,,vintage camper courts............a total void......oh well.

Amazing and very fast work. Looks like a trailer craze is hitting the modeling world.

I agree with the Wifey, (after 39 years of wedded bliss, this is just automatic) the Testors '50s pink, or aqua would both be right at home on this little cutey.

Just did some front window treatment, puttz with some cleanng up and settled on the door. I like the porthole treatment even though the origional has no windows in the door.

Fantastic! May I ask what type and thickness of plastic you used, and more importantly, how were you able to bend it?

[1930fordpickup]

Seeing the drawing just reminded me of my Late friends camper they restored . It was a little yellow and white Shasta . I hope that you get a chance to finish this .

[CemetaryAngel81]
