Excellent work on the trailer RED

So what`s the chanceas that you have the plans for this trailer & could post them?
I dare say there is a fair few of us who`d love to have some trailers for our jeeps & Humvee`s

Must also say i like how the Sleeveless SpecOps guys arms work with your Duck camo WWII Marine too

Hey y'all---I just finished the 1/4 ton trailer----I hope y'all like it!!!! All I did was strip a Humvee that came in a set with a rubber raft and 2 modern troopers.I got the set at TRU for about $10.00---all I wanted was the raft and the equipment that came with it.I only do WW2 so I striped everything off the Humvee(lights,steering wheel,radio,and so on)for some other project in the future!!!All I had left was the body and frame of the Humvee---I was taken off the wheels when the frame broke and thats when I came up with the ideal to build the trailer!!!The --BOX-- is made from wood and the undercarriage is from the Humvee!!!I hand painted it all, added the tail lights wire,and hooked up the safety chains(the chains are from a old LEGO Old West Set)!!!! The Marine is a new custom I did the other night---I thought that it gets pretty hot in the South Pacific so what better than a sleeveless shirt to help out with the heat

!!!I had to drill out the arm holes and install a small hinge I got from a R/C Plane shop and superglue the armes(from the new BBI fig)to it!!!It worked pretty good---if y'all want to try this get the smallest hinge you can find!!!I hope y'all enjoy the pics!!!---RED---

Hey y'all--again-- I forgot

-- STEELBONNET---I will get the plans posted soon!!!Really a pretty easy custom to do!!!The ---BOX--- was the hardest part to build and that was pretty easy to do!!!!Oh and the wheel wells are made from a old wicker basket that had a round shape to it--I thought it might come in handy some day being that it is hard to find round wood!!!:lol:
