The idea of an “aero style” car trailer appealed greatly.  Looking around my “project room” I noticed a nicely curved display case for a 1:43^rd car and decided to use that for the front of the trailer body work. Another 1:43^rd case was the right width to accommodate a 1:32^nd  car snugly. So a simple case of splicing the two boxes together, adding axles and a tow bar – LOL. After weeks and weeks of filling and rubbing down I was at the stage where it was “fine”.  So, here we go…

Stage 1:  Identify resources.

 

Stage 2: Artist’s impression.

 

Stage 3:  Join two main assemblies together and prepare to trim.

 

Stage 4:   Start to think this will be easy!

 

Stage 5: Ok not so easy but getting there. Fit temporary brace.

 

Stage 6: First filling, much to come.

 

Stage 7: Add a tail “spoiler”. Add masking for hatch and roof-light.

 

 

Stage 8: A coat of primer to hide all.

 

Stage 9: Better sort out a tailgate!

 

Stage 9b: A device to attach it to the towing vehicle.

 

Stage 10: Base, axles supports/bearings and a tailgate hinge.

 

Stage 11: Supports for mudguards and a coat of paint (or ten).

 

Stage 12: Launch party.

 

Stage 13: Montecarlo here we come (after a few Martini Stripes are added).
