OK I'm not gonna talk much on this but let the pics do the talking. Only spent a hour on this lastnight and other than just a few more little details I believe that it is about ready for primer and paint.

Some things need more attention than a classroom full of 2 year olds drinking Red Bull.

What you see in white is what I did, used .040 × .100, .030 × .030 and 1/8" tube styrene to do it.

Haha I love them spur of the moment creations lol. So let's see a cool coloured trailer. Not the same old aluminum stainless.....like a nice blue or wine colour red with white strips or something like that lol. Or I guess you can paint it how you want pahaha. Look cool so far

Well I got it primed and popped GM Victory red which is almost spot on for the heil red from dcp and the Chinese red laquer I use on the most of the firetrucks I build.
Also once the paint was dry I played with different trucks but am growing fond of the 69 Chevy custom crewcab.
