kennb Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) I found this picture on the net last night and just had to do it. I was going to go with yelloe but Spouse says it has to be pink. Will still do all the doo dads with it. It is not any one camper. I am adding a few of the Shasta special items inside. I know it is tight but what can you do in 10 feet, still have the bed in the back and the details outside. Not totally sure how far I will go with the jellouse (sp) windows. BTW: started about 10 this morning so it isnt that difficult a build. A week end project. it is all simple straight cuts so would be good project for first time scratch building. KennB Gotta love the campers Edited November 22, 2011 by kennb
Sixties Sam Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 You did that since 10 this morning?! Wow! Incredible work! I'm thinking this and your Airfloat with 1950's tow vehicles would make a great 1950's campground diorama! Sam
Nick Notarangelo Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 here I was thinking how hard could it be to do a slide on pick up camper nice job
kennb Posted November 22, 2011 Author Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) A diorama sounds fun, but i would like to have a nice vintage looking sign. I remember that in "The Last Starfighter" they had that sign in the opening scenes and thought that might be the type I am wanting. Simple net search and ...........nothing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,nada,,,,,,,,,,,,,trailer court signs, never heard of them....................mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...................................image search,,,,web search,,,,,,,,vintage camper courts............a total void......oh well. KennB Supose now I am going to find some weird pickup to make a camper for Edited November 22, 2011 by kennb
Eshaver Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Looks like this is all scratch built . Very nice work ! Ed Shaver
crazyjim Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 Amazing and very fast work. Looks like a trailer craze is hitting the modeling world.
62rebel Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 in the spirit of the season and as a measure of cultural diversity, this one begs for a cagane.....

KennB Gotta love the campers I agree with the Wifey, (after 39 years of wedded bliss, this is just automatic) the Testors '50s pink, or aqua would both be right at home on this little cutey.
kennb Posted November 23, 2011 Author Posted November 23, 2011 Just did some front window treatment, puttz with some cleanng up and settled on the door. I like the porthole treatment even though the origional has no windows in the door. KennB
Jzaaijer Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Fantastic! May I ask what type and thickness of plastic you used, and more importantly, how were you able to bend it?
1930fordpickup Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Seeing the drawing just reminded me of my Late friends camper they restored . It was a little yellow and white Shasta . I hope that you get a chance to finish this .
CemetaryAngel81 Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Nice scratchbuilding,man do these bring back memories for me.I like how youre going for the illustation,cat wait to see this finished,its looking great!
Dave Van Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 I started one somewhat like that....need to finish someday.......
Austin T Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Well we might need to start a CB because two days ago I started one and I only stopped because I ran out of parts.
kennb Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 All that parts for this and the other trailer are all scratch built with no commercial parts. I make everything down to the tires and rims and hub caps. Thanks for the comments and positive feedback on this and my other projects. I will be getting this one back out and trying to finish it up soon. I have taken a short break form modeling but have several projects to complete. KennB
