Hi guy´s

I switcht my projekt. I start to built a modern version of Smoky. I hope you like it I love the Movie and so i get the idea to built it.

My german Pete will be the Tractor, the trailer is a custom built:





my first experiment with Polystrol, that is the forefront, selfmade





now i wait for parts to forward work

You see it is a spread axle trailer, the box i built with polystrol. For light and sound i use a Beier modul not an Tamiya unit.

My english is not the best but Pic´s talk more then words. so please not be angry that i make no long text or take time to answere.

Thank you

I use 2mm Polystrol plates, they are not to small and not to big to form with a hot air gun.
