Glue Bomb Great Dane **Finished**

[KJ790]

I bought this glue bomb 40' great dane reefer trailer at a show a couple years ago. It has sat on a box ever since, waiting to find a purpose. I was so pleased with how the ribbed sides and HVAC tape looked on my scratchbuilt trailer, I decided to rebuild this one and give it the same treatment.

I broke it mostly apart and cut the bottom rails off of the sides. I used smooth styrene sheet to make a faux side that the ribbed styrene will be glued to. Here is a ribbed side mocked up.




I accidentally broke the kit roof into pieces while trying to get the trailer apart, so I will have to scratch build that. More to come soon.

Nice save Kurt, and especially for being patient. Projects like this sometimes end up going air born... know what I mean...Looking forward to finished product

I am sure this will turn out like the rest of your work, GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!

[KJ790]

Been making some progress. I have the sides done and worked on detailing the front today. I still need to make a roof for it.

And the finished product. It has a few flaws, but compared to where it started I am happy.

Really nice KJ. How did you "smoke" the upper corners?

Great save!

[KJ790]

Thanks guys! Pat, for the exhaust soot on the corners I just lightly airbrush some black paint on the corners and down each corner of the roof a bit. I have found that it is really easy to over-do it though. It seems like less is more for that technique.

What size, scale is the ribbed sheet you used? And is it Plastruct or Evergreen?

It is from Evergreen. It is the sheet with 0.080" ribs.
