Thanks mate , The plastic has come of a tilttray truck 1:24 scale that I have been modifying. It is a little tuff to cut but well worth the effort..

I have set up the rear mechanics and added the radiator hoses, electrical and fuel lines for a more scale look .......



Here are the top lights but won't fix them untill I paint the bar work and then wire them up to work .....




Cheers ......

very nice, the radiator/fan is a nice touch. i cant wait to see it with wheels, ect.


What do you use to hold your tubes in place when you are brazing?

When braising I use the triangular magnets and other strange ways ..lol as it is always difficult to hold such small peices.......
I also use some steel plates

This is a trailer that I have built for the micro's, I'm am going to biuld a pop up tent to go on the top also......It will be removable. This is the first steps.....

The suspension wont work but I think it looks quiet scale anyhow.....

tried to make the hitch and leg scale also....

I am pretty happy with the result so far.......

The tail gate is hinged also and has scale catches .
Flip up camper to come.........

Thanks mate..... The lights came off a mini rc I stripped them off a long time ago and cant remeber the actual name or brand. Sorry .

I got stuck into the trailer today and also the fold out camper . It has turned out preety good and just need to make the material cover now ......here is some pics....



I then through a lick of paint over the trailer and added the tool box I made prviously.....

will try and get cracking on the material for the camper next ....Cheers

Started to get the templetes of the pop top organised and it's working out pretty good ....


I am trying to keep the top light as there is not much room to make it all fold up but I think if I use the light kite material it should work . If worst comes to worst then I'll just make the sides peel of with velcrow and fold then up ...........
