Default Building a Trailer (Finished)

Hello!

In this video I make the frame of the trailer using polystyrene which is quite easy to work with.

Thanks for looking!

Here is part one of the build where I modify a Redcat axle.

Here is some more photos of the build. I've made some additional parts and started to paint.

We cannot see your images! I like the latches on the rear. So simple but effective. Well done! Coming together really well.

Thanks so much.

About the pics, it's strange since I can see them on both the computer and every other device we have... I'll take a closer look. Is it all the pictures or just the latest ones?

No pics in any posts. Just the Youtube videos in post #1 and #2. OK, just tried right clicking on a image and it asks if I want to download the image from dropbox but it doesn't display any in your posts.

Great! Good to hear that you can see the pics after all.

I might do another YouTube video with all the pics and some videos showing the trailer in action.

I can only see the pics by downloading them. I'd bet most people won't be bothered.

Nice job.

All pics visible btw ... no need to download. Pics are hosted on Dropbox, maybe there's a problem for those who don't have an account or an active sync on their computer.

Thanks for your comment!

As a security measure I decided to fasten the latches with some chain because I would probably lose them if I didn't...

Sorry for all the dust on it.

Thought it looked a little empty in the front end so I did a box.
