Styrene is pretty tough. I made this trailer from styrene and it doesn't sag with my chopper on it.   |

A lot depends on what kind you get too. Some is stiffer than others.

Looks pretty good. I agree go with styrene. I have built 2 flatbed trailers and they have been able to hold a 1/64 9870 combine with sagging

Quinton, remember me saying awhile back on here about not having enuff money to buy what you need, to improvise??? Thats what IM talking about!!!!! good job on them! lol, not bad for cardboard!!, I will 1 up you though, as I had the pieces that make the ayloft floor in the ertl dairy barns laying around., so I cut them into peices, and made a couple trailers out of them. had rails already built in, and wood floor look!!!lol, I will see about a pic or 2.......
