Wow, how many parts are there? haha. I would never be able to do such a meticulous job like that

if you look at the huge pile of screws and stuff on the other page it gives you an idea! eg: there are lots of parts, it is a great build, expensive yes, but definately worth it.

i now have to decide whether to stick with the trailer box art, or do a relica, like the tractor truck will be.

i think this is the most i can do, till i get some paint in..

a close up of the retractable support system.. i never did take to the motorised support legs, the standard system does it so well anyway..

Nice job so far, Lee! Is there going to be some kind of body on the trailer?

Btw: You need to dust off your shelf queens!
