    Really nice... but I think you could make a pair of mud flaps for the rear tires... Congratulations.

    @1SnarfyDude Před 5 lety +3

    I like the way you took the time to put all of the gussets (little triangles) in place. It added a lot to the look.
    Oh, just one Little thing, it needs tail lights.
    Great work.

    • @DrFoo11
      @DrFoo11 Před 5 lety +1

      Freaking awesome build!
      Every time he said triangle I said to myself "Gussets. The word your looking for is gussets."

    You can use clear colored plexiglass for lights. Have seen one guy make them working lights. Lit up real nice.

  • @tjh44961
    @tjh44961 Před 5 lety

    Great job! For the wooden deck, use coffee stirrer sticks, and stain them with alcohol colored with a few drops of India ink. That will give them the greyish-silver color of a weathered wooden deck. That's what those of us in the model railroad game use for the decks of flatcars. Keep up the good work!

    @scottthomas6202 Před 5 lety

    A few years ago, the power company mailed out free CFL lamps. According to the instructions on the package, going up in smoke is a designed failure mode! I have several make a popping noise and go up in smoke. I suppose a resistor is being used as a fuse. Switch to LEDs. Cool trailer!

  • @hestheMaster
    @hestheMaster Před 5 lety +1

    Clever build with styrene! Ramp holder part was brilliant!!! Next time try putting two angles on the deck part far enough to wedge the tires in so the car does go flying off
    with a hot dog driver! Looks like you have found another calling as Styrene Resurrection!😍 Also check out Sidewaysking75 version of a car transport using Hot Wheels
    Kombi VW. Amazing styrene work on it! He uses a device called the Chopper II to cut exact multiple copies of bits of plastic that are all the same.

    Van into pickup
    Pickup into RV
    Whatever you like to make using grinding and cutting tools to cut roofs off

  • @awoodworker
    @awoodworker Před 5 lety

    Great job. I have been working with Plastruct and Evegreen brand styrene sheets and shapes for 40 yrs. I have only worked in 1/24 -1/25th scale and for the past 10 yrs I have been just building 1/18th scale . I build scale trailers and race car frames. The Plastruct glue you are using works very well but it really stinks. There are special cutters to trim the sheet styrene. I realize that the majority of your work is in 64th scale so you may not need anything other than exacto type blades. Exacto blades do a good job but they are easier to keep on the line if you use them backwards to make your cuts. Lots of light cuts. You are right, when you put gussets and cross beams in, the piece becomes very rigid. I love your videos. While I don't do 64th scale, I do watch you for airbrushing techniques and your humor. . I only recently bought an airbrush and haven't raised the courage to try it. Are you Canadian? I am in Ontario Canada. Keep up the great videos. The trailer looks awesome with great detail added .

  • @QuadMochaMatti
    @QuadMochaMatti Před 5 lety

    I used to go through quite a bit of styrene, Plastruct solvent, MEK, and CA adhesive myself, back in the days when I was a young buck of a Uni student majoring in Industrial Design, making conceptual prototype models. Seeing this sort of enthusiasm is contagious enough to get me back into scratching that itch to scratch build. For a "first", that turned out really well. The only significant thing I can see that sweet trailer is missing is some sort of landing gear, to hold it level when it's unhitched.

  • @tomheckhaus7617
    @tomheckhaus7617 Před 5 lety

    Great Job, I recently purchased some large sheets of clear plastic to restore some old 1/18 scale model boxes. The kind that has the plastic window covering 75% of the box and that plastic gets nasty over the years. I also bought the Odds-n-Ends pack, they "Evergreen" make a bunch of stuff like ready made girders, rods, 1/2 round rods etcetera. Nice folks to speak with if you call them for a specific need. I see Jimmy (Up to about 1:30) is outside his trailer recovering from a heck-of-a-wild-party LOL. Sadly I see you've inserted music, one of the things I enjoy most about your videos is the narrative with no music. I would have preferred just hearing your thoughts about l working with the styrene. Ah-ha that's what you did, lost the music, thank you. I see Jimmy has recovered at about 20:50. Seriously, what a great job, it looks store-bought. I'm looking forward to seeing the ramps built and maybe some side rails. WONDERFUL VIDEO and YES do more building vids.

  • @richardcorwin5529
    @richardcorwin5529 Před 5 lety +2

    A very nice start to enhance your hobby DR! Another company to check out is Plastruct as they also have architectural shapes in many sizes. You have to be very careful with scratch building as it can be an obsessive and dangerous hobby!! :-)

  • @weekendwarriordude2790

    Very cool! Your video couldn’t be more timely for me as I was just about to buy some styrene myself! It looks really easy to work with and fun 😎👍🏻 Yea the wood deck with steel frame would definitely take it to the next level.

  • @sped6954
    @sped6954 Před 5 lety

    Built from scratch with no instruction sheet or anything else to work with. No way I could do it, but you make it look so easy. Another excellent job. All it really needs in taillight boxes and side markers; one at the front in amber, one at the midpoint and one at the rear both in red. Or is it the front two in amber and the rear one in black I don't remember!!! 🤣🤣🤣

  • @turbolivesinmyheart6328

    Yes I do like that. Suggestions: landing gear; spare tire; tie downs; and tail lights. Do the next one in metal, and paint it with spectraflame.

    you forget to add the legs on it in the front when you take the trailer off. you should add trailer lights, trailer brake lights, a tire rack up at the front of the trailer, wheel wells, and so forth and so on. but it looks great man.

  • @robertfloyd1002
    @robertfloyd1002 Před 2 lety

    love the trailer...........just a suggestion for the next one.alot of.trailers like that usually have a ramp on the back.or dove tail..like the trailer dips down then the triangle ramps fold up on to the trailer and match the height on the deck of the rest of the trailer......

  • @allthingssilver7635
    @allthingssilver7635 Před 5 lety

    I think a metal frame trailer with wood floor like you said would be awesome. That would be fun to make and to watch. You should totally go for it. You'll have to add wheel wells around the wheels tho since the tires sit on the sides of the trailer instead of under it.

  • @robertchristensen2633

    One minor idea since you got the stopper for the tires, what about a piece gfor down the middle of the trailor as like something to hold the vehicles and keep them from sliding around on it, Or even a piece on the sides of the trailor to also help keep the vehicles still
