Repstock Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 It's getting time to beat up and weather this trailer. If it's not beat up, it can't be Rockford's trailer. Trouble is, I'm having trouble getting up the courage to weather it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 You have pics of the new trailer safe here now, so let the weather begin! It would be cool if you have photos of the 1:1 you can post here for us all with bad memories to see. and ... it does look awesome now ... I can understand your reluctance to dirty it up, but it will look "better" once done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxer Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 The lawn furniture may be the tough part. That's going to be fun raining on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retired & glad Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Go for it. It is looking good.I often wondered when I used to watch the show of how he was able to park it in a parking lot with power and water and sewer connections. I guess that was the wonders of TV.

Jairus Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I've already done the lawn furniture frames in brass, just need to add the webbing.Ah.. what lawn?Seriously tho, the build looks GREAT! Weather away or build a second. Otherwise it won't be correct, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Repstock Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Very nice Tom. What did you use for the siding ? .040 Styrene with a .125 Spaced V-Groove Design from Evergreen Scale Models. Manufacturers' number 4125. I was going to scribe them, but the grooves on this styrene sheet were almost a perfect match, so I used them. I don't get that lucky with models very often.
