Johnag4004 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Hi all, I have thinking of making a car transport trailer for sometime and finally took the plunge... This is what I came up with... The mesh is the one you use with body filler on real cars... The axles are made from round balsa wood with a plastic rod pushed through... Axle mounts... The black parts of the mud guards are from a cheap toy artic trailer... The lights are the rear lights off the trailer... Making the ramps holder... Thank you for looking, any and all hints & tips greatly received... Andy...
Johnag4004 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 Here is the finished trailer... Thank you for looking, comments welcome... Andy...
Old Buckaroo Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 That is one nice scratch built trailer. This is the kind of modeling I like !
Harry P. Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 That turned out very nicely! Great details, and I also like the use of mesh. Nice work.
Johnag4004 Posted January 18, 2014 Author Posted January 18, 2014 Thank you all for looking and for the kind words... Andy...
