It's Hot Racing 1/10 scale diamond plate I got from RPP last year. They now have RC4WDs and Plastructs versions too. See them here: RPP Hobby | Radio Controlled Cars, Trucks, Boats, Helis, Planes, Plastic Models

Unfortunately progress on this camper will be slow for the next couple of months as I have two daughters playing soccer. So, I'll have to figure out how to squeeze in some me time between that and getting up at 330 am to get to work. :sad:
However, I won't let this build die."thumbsup"

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Under what conditions? The wood is birch and the outer siding is styrene. It's all held together with Insta-Cure+. Its structural integrity is very strong. I hope that helps answer your question.

I got the lights wired up and put on a switch. Next is the siding and windows.

I'll make an access door under the cabover and next to the small cab window. It will be secured and hidden under the stove. :mrgreen:

Can you explain how you made the trailer axle/what parts you used? I don't have an LHS that stocks this type of stuff so I'll have to buy online but I just haven't figured out what to get....everything else I'm gonna fab by hand but the axle/springs are what's stopping me from getting started!
Oh..you could also hide the battery in a propane tank or tongue mounted toolchest

I had the same problem figuring out what I was going to do for an axle as well. Over the course of a weekend make one out of extra parts. The axle is actually two solid aluminum links joined by a long set screw. Then with two more of the same length set screws on either side of the axle to secure the wheels. I cut up an old screw driver that had a square stock shaft and took it to the grinder to make the perches. The leaf spring clamp assemblies are left over OG Bruiser parts I had lying around. The leaf springs themselves are RC4WD Soft Red springs. Finally the shocks are 100mm RC4WD Ultimate Scale shocks. BTW - I am running 1.55 wheels. I hope this helps give you some ideas.
Thanks for the idea for the battery. However, I want to keep the camper fully self contained. That way all I have to is loosen the turn-buckles, not shown in any pictures yet, and remove the camper from the trailer. No wires to worry about. I will most definitely be putting a propane tank and other goodies on the tongue end of the trailer."thumbsup"

Made some progress over the weekend. Still plugging away at it..."thumbsup"
Very nice camper build, it's right there w/ microgoats' camper. I've seen clapboard siding in the Plastruct line that would be a dead ringer for the external sheeting used on a 1:1 camper.
What did you use for a sink, and lastly- are you gonna detail out the bathroom?

Thanks BigSki. Does MicroGoat have a build thread for his? All I could find was one picture. I considered clapboard siding for the retro look, but my interior is too modern. So I went with the smooth siding like today's campers. I use a 1/12 scale doll house sink and stove top. It close enough to 1/10 scale dimensions and they were exactly what I was looking for. And finally, nope. I decided to go head-less for this camper. I couldn't find a porta-potty and really didn't want to make one from scratch. So in the place where the head would go I put the rounded shelf instead. Should make a great spot for an LCD TV. "thumbsup"
Thank you Maddog!:mrgreen:
