Keeping the color theme thru-out the trailer starting with the frame. The walls would be pretty much cut/dry but on a kit this size there are numerous ejector marks , using some 1/2 inch wood rub rails to cover a few on the lower walls the rest will have to be filled in , I wanted the roof to be removable , we'll see , there are about 42 to fill in not including the roof . I noticed John from Can-Am Garage did something to his walls maybe he could elaborate.

Decided to just cover it all in balsa , I always wanted to do this inside a big rig trailer , it works pretty good

Work is super busy but I'm staying on this all day today, I'm trying for all paint done this week. Interior just about done.


weathered the floor wood , now it makes the walls to bright, need some light grime to tone it down some

Dang! You got me beat!

I used shelf paper for the inside of the walls. The decking was painted and then I added a strip of my checkerboard shelf paper (just about impossible for me to find anymore) down the middle.



Mine is patterned after a Haulmark trailer. The walls are no where near perfect as I did this after the trailer was assembled.



I got carried away around the spare tire well.



I even put checkboarding on top of the fifth wheel area.

One of these days, I've gotta work on it some more.

To humid to add 2nd color....stalled this close for a couple days, John the Can-Am haulaway is pretty close to done...looks good , get'r done..

Great job on the trailer! Nice little Triumph, too!

Ifound out the hard way Dupli-color does not like to go over Testors lacquer system. 3rd paint job also meant reworking the wood inside , good thing I only tried 1 side to see how it would work. Its all done , just needs detailing and final assy......




The roof is dark blue as is the nose cap. I'll have to figure how to get some blue on the sides , maybe large lettering

That looks cool! Can you see it going down the road as a 1:1?!?! You'd create a scene for sure!

Nice work!

Need to put the last wall on but the back door was just cleared so I have to wait , again , its the 1 thing I forgot to do...lettering is vinyl die-cuts, to match the smaller name on the hummer , add a few more decals after the last wall is on , building a slammer to keep inside . now to find room to keep it ..............






The overhead engine hoist also needs some rigging , but the inside is done

[Rick]

That looks GREAT! Where did you find the engine hoist, toolboxes and other equipment?

[Wildrice]

Great combo Ken. That is a wild set up. Any team would be glad to have that as a transporter.

[Mal.au]

Now that cool I love the green very different also the tow vehicle is spot on

[Mr. Can Am Garage]

Looks great but one question.

What's gonna keep that creeper from hitting the floor on the first corner (bump, curb, whatever)?

[BIGTRUCK]

John your right I'll make a bungie or two good eye....Rick the overhead hoist came with the kit most of the others came out of 'Fugimi garage tools ' kit #11032 and a couple simple scratch items cans, buckets etc.
