Petetrucker07 Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 Very nice man. If offered this up as a kit as its sittin in your pics, I'd buy a few of them. You make some nice trailers man. I really like the one I have already. This will be a very nice combo.
kilrathy10 Posted April 29, 2015 Author Posted April 29, 2015 Hey, thanks Clayton....I appreciate that, Man.....But to be honest, I have quite the fondness of the treatment you put on that tanker and those livestock trailers.....Just too awesome....I wish I could do a kit.....Biggest problem is that each one is custom job....I have a basic pattern, but my brain always goes somewhere else.....Oh well....But thanks, again, Buddy....
gatorincebu Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 JT, That trailer is looking good. The tractor looks great. keep it up bro. Be Well Gator
kilrathy10 Posted May 1, 2015 Author Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Got even more done, tonight....I got the trailer box put together and mocked up for a quick check before I get to painting.....While I was planning on scratching up the interior, I remembered I had a bunch of stuff from a couple of AMT race trailers laying around and wondered if I had enough to do up a decent setup.....Lo and behold....I do....This is what I have, as of now.....

Petetrucker07 Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Lookin great man. This will be just awesome when you get her done.
Goodwrench3 Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Where do I place my order for one of these race trailer kits ???!! what's the part number?? JT-001 ?? WOW .. suh-weeeeet :-)
slusher Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 Super work on the trailer JT. Rally looking good. The Volvo looks awesome man. i can't believe i have bee over looking this build lately...
Mopar - D Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 JT your raising your bar on this build and it's looking great.
Tesla Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Nice work on the trailer and the interior details look terrific.
kilrathy10 Posted May 15, 2015 Author Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Got some more done on this thing.....I've painted the interior parts in a scheme I think might work in the real world....Orange with stainless steel counter tops and such....This is the general layout I've come up with...Still not sure how I want to do the lounge area or if I even want it for that.....That area up front is mostly used for computer analysis and other stuff more than lounging, these days....But, then again, this ain't replicating any particular trailer, anyway.... I think I'm gonna make some sliding drip pans for the middle of the car rack, here and there..... Amazing what comes out of those old AMT trailers.....These steps were just what I needed, here.....The flooring will be painted orange with black spattering, or vise versa....Haven't decided, yet....What do you guys think?? Edited May 15, 2015 by kilrathy10
Petetrucker07 Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Dude. Your are out of control. That stuff looks fantastic. You almost need make the roof out of clear Lexan or acrylic. Awesome paint work.Black and orange checker would look way cool.

Hey, that's a good idea for the floor, Clayton.....And easier to execute, too....I just may do that.....Thanks, Buddy....You're pretty smart, Dude....Man, that's a good idea....Or even a combination of spattering and checkerboard.....Hmmmm......Now, why didn't I think of that?? And I may just consider building another roof with openings, too.... Edited May 15, 2015 by kilrathy10
Kenny B Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 JT, Way to cool. What kind of art are you going to put on the side of it. Ken.

Thanks, Man....You know, I still have some more vinly printed graphics a buddy of mine made for me for my 1/16 scale race hauler....It will be similar to this.....
Kenny B Posted May 15, 2015 Posted May 15, 2015 Love it. On the 1/16 scale trailer, what scale tires and rims are you using? Ken.
gatorincebu Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 Wow! JT, you are blowing this one outa da park Bro. I like what you are doing to the interior here. Be Well Gator

And I may just consider building another roof with openings, too.... No problem man. Sometimes posting opinions wanted works. After seeing the Raptor box next your trailer, it got me thinkin. I need 2 Raptors to make 1. Anyway, I thought the checkered floor would really make the whole interior pop.
kilrathy10 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) I also want to that all you guys, here on the forum, that keep me motivated.....Especially Dan, Carl, Kenny G, Gator, Terry, Sean, Jesse, and Dennis, in particular....You guys are great modelers, and I really appreciate your input and support on all these projects....And, again, thanks Clayton....You've got a great eye for this stuff....Can't wait to see what you do with that Volvo.... Edited May 16, 2015 by kilrathy10
Petetrucker07 Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 And, again, thanks Clayton....You've got a great eye for this stuff....Can't wait to see what you do with that Volvo.... That makes two of us. That's another truck that'd be hard to Peterize. LOL.
kilrathy10 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 That makes two of us. That's another truck that'd be hard to Peterize. LOL.LOL !!!That is so true....Not too many ways to do that to a Volvo....
tbill Posted May 16, 2015 Posted May 16, 2015 JT, man, you are really doin this one up, awesome looking stuff!
kilrathy10 Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 Love it. On the 1/16 scale trailer, what scale tires and rims are you using? Ken. Thanks, Kenny...I used the rims and tires out of the 1/20 scale Pete 359....They are just right for this kind of trailer in 1/16 scale....
