Must say, "That is one sweeeet trailer!!" Went to McMaster-Carr, no 1.5mm screws or bolts. 1.4mm or 1.6mm are offered. Am I looking for the wrong thing?? Would like to get some as they are closer to scale for some things.

Hey Paul, love those trailer frame rails. How long are they? Obviously scaled to Tamiya size, but I just wonder if they could be useful for a Wedico trailer. Width is no problem to change. Length might be. What do you think? Did you ever think about just selling the frame rails?

No I cant just had a couple of sets made 2 years ago..

Thanks for all the great Comments guys.. I have not had a lot of time to work on it till this weekend.

Well here are some updates I am trying to get it into paint this weekend but I am running out of time for sure.. I got all the brass edging done and also got the oak plywood down.

Then I tackled the ramps. I made them out of derlin as they will get marked up by loading and un loading so this will help keep them scratch free sort of..
http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...boy/004-17.jpg

Also added the extension to the deck that the ramps mount too and mounted the ramps.

Then I started on the cleats that go on the ramps and the beaver tail.

Closed up.

And one side all done..
