Hey! nice project. I would be interested in trying out your camper build. Don't know if you're still in testing mode or selling mode but I'm interested either way. I did something similar with some Adirondack shelter plans I drew up in CAD at 10 scale. It was cool to see what other people did with the basic design that I started & how different the end product looked from mine. Great way to trouble shoot plans/kits. In the end, demand for 1:10 adirondack shelters didn't justify vendor status... but it was fun. I'm actually doing a scale campground. I did this sign & picnic table and a friend scratch built the tear drop. I'm working on a '64 Shasta Astroflyte scratch build & experimenting with tents. |

Styrene for the people! Weight in grams Have any of you guys ever used Sintra? That's going to be the plastic happy medium and it comes in colors! Lighter, stiffer and easier to machine. |

Thanks for the comments on the camper and thanks for the post DRW The battery box was a casting I got from 65efi5.0 I really like what youve done here. Your camper is really cool. I would be interested in one in styrene in the future. |

The future is Sintra, if you really want styrene I have enough plastic to make 3 more campers Here's what the Sintra looks like close up It's a little cheaper, about 40% lighter and more rigid... 2mm would work also saving weight. CA also sticks to it like mad, the core is foamed poly-somethin'or'nother so the ca soaks into the foam. PM me and we'll get you a camper... packing one up for your buddy now, don't wanna be left out! | |

Good to hear positive stuff I updated the camper design a little... Thinner, shapely roof supports. Lighter and allows better access to bunk area/rear door This is a new optional roof support for the center, the old one was huge and is still included The rear lower sides were moved to the windows for space conservation The orientation of the rear and frt panels were changed so the texture of the grain matches Since there has been no complaints so far I am going to say they are ready for the masses. 5 more kits are available PM if your interested! |

Got mine in the mail the other day and finally opened it up today! Looking forward to doing a build video on it. I just hope I can do it justice. Might paint the whole thing in Steelers colors for tailgate parties. |
