Re: tundra6x6 with Trailer!!
Kranky,
Isn't all that plywood heavy? I thought of a way to lighten the transport boxes the tankers use, and you could benefit from it too. Use the ply for the outer edges only, and then put a sheet of that corrugated plastic sheeting (like they use for signs) over top. A 4x8' is dirt cheap, and MUCH lighter than ply. Hmmm, makes me think of another way to make the 'frame' idea neat: make it a curtain-sider, and the curtain becomes a display canopy for the trailer-box. Another option, if you are friendly with local stores, is check out their dispolay signs they use ever week/two/whatever. Often they are heavy card, which is great for test-builds, but sometimes its actually styrene sheet or such. Ask about it. I snagged a shipping tube for their signs a while back when I needed to send some frame-rails by mail. Beat the $20 the PO wanted! And are you going to make fold-down 'feet' so the trailer will double as a transport box as well, so she's not sitting on the suspension all that time? WhiteWolf |

Re: tundra6x6 with Trailer!!
Hmmm...
Seeing this makes me tempted to try to make some optional 'hardsides' for my Goldie when she arrives... (yea, I laid down the dinero for it!) Then again, I'll havta check how well my intended cargo would fit... Oh, now thats sneaky (* Sci-fi idea popped into head *) Make sure ya prep the wood well Kranky, or it'll ruin your paint job. If ya want waterproof AND strength without fibreglas mess, try thinned epoxy: Use 2-part HobyPoxy (or whatever brand), 45m set, or 2h if you're slow, and mix in equal parts as directions. ~Then~ add some Klenk's Epoxy Thinner (used for enamel refinishing on tubs) but only a few drops atta time, stirring in-between additions. When you have it down to paint consistancy, paint away. Use cheap disposable brushes, as cleaning is a "female-dog". I don't go any thinner as set time goes a bit wierd. I use this on all my R/C boats, as it makes 'em practically indestructable (to the point you can rip out all interior framing!) WhiteWolf |
