Gary Chastain Posted October 7 Author Posted October 7 4 minutes ago, ShakyCraftsman said: Those are definitely sweet Gary.😁😉 Ron G They are pretty good and it’s my last set. With all the shipping issues, including Canada and the tariff issues, I can’t get any at the moment. I do have a couple trailer disk brake kits but know nothing about them. Didn’t have those things when I drove. 3
Gary Chastain Posted October 10 Author Posted October 10 Aligning these 3D printed fenders is proving to be a challenge due to slight warp. The axles are attached, wheels attached and aligned, rear light panel glued in place. The fenders will attach to the trailer frame (clamp locations) after epoxy sets, then I will try to align the rear of fenders to light bar with epoxy. But they are fighting me. 3
Gary Chastain Posted October 12 Author Posted October 12 Some progress, although slow. Last glue up on fenders and jacks. Tomorrow I can start setting the load on and making straps. 5
Gary Chastain Posted October 12 Author Posted October 12 Good progress today, ready to make load straps and mount the load. 6

Actually had to go find a calendar, 19 calendar days (Sept 19th to Oct 12th) to build and paint this trailer, still got the load to finish and a couple decals. 2
BK9300 Posted October 12 Posted October 12 Man, that looks good, Gary! (I think you've inspired me to include a trailer in a future build)

Rockford Posted October 13 Posted October 13 19 days to build that! Amazing stuff. Looks fantastic. 1
Gary Chastain Posted October 14 Author Posted October 14 Trailer finished, bench cleaned and back to the truck. I ran the straps as I did so that I could expose the injection molding machine, by lifting crate from base. 7
Biggu Posted October 14 Posted October 14 WOW!! And all scratched , what an awesome trailer , so clean and sharp , absolutely BEAUTIFUL, and will compliment the tractor perfectly ..... SUPER nice, Gary..... take a bow ! 1
BK9300 Posted October 15 Posted October 15 This all looks awesome, Gary - pleasure to watch it all come together! 1

Pete68 Posted October 19 Posted October 19 Gary your trailer is beautiful. I like the wood grain going to be nice rig. 1
Rockford Posted Sunday at 08:58 AM Posted Sunday at 08:58 AM Just so impressive. Beautiful work. The only part I don't understand is "bench cleaned", it's not something I've come across so far in my modelling history. 😜 1

The only part I don't understand is "bench cleaned", it's not something I've come across so far in my modelling history. 😜 Thanks Steve, and the bench, I get frustrated when I can’t find stuff or when I lose parts, so I keep my bench somewhat organized, although I have been spending some time/researching on ways to better organize my spare parts. I did manage to get a a Tamiya paint rack from a closing hobby shop, all my spray cans, extra glue all fit in the rack now. 2
