1:18 Willy's MBT Trailer

Post by grunt1 » Sun Dec 06, 2009 2:49 pm

Hey guys, I showed a picture of this little fella a while back in the
background of another photo. Since I'm getting closer to having it and a
few other items finally completed I thought I'd share some better photos
of the prototype. As you already know it's taking me forever to
move these projects forward.

All I can say is that I'm learning more every day and have a lot of sympathy
for the crew at 21C and customizers like Pickle, Red, Hun, Zelda, etc.. as this is
mostly fun but very challenging work.

Hey brother!!! Looks pretty sweet !!! I built one a while back out of wood and part of a PTE jeep!!! I think if 21stC could of/would of built a few items like this they might still be around!!!By this I mean small items that they could of put out cheap that would have been pretty easy to mass produce!!! Just my $0.02!!! But hey ---nice dio you got going there---got anymore pics for us??? Again nice work on the custom!!!---RED---

Great work, I am making one out of wood in 1/32 scale, but need a source for wheels tires. I only have a couple of wheels and tires from an old 1/35 model truck.
