This is the finish of my MB stock crate it utilised two euro curtainsider trailers shown in an earlier post,the bows are 1/8 tube with plastic coated wire in the middle to keep the bends at the right angle swinging gate in the middle of both truck and trailer sliding doors on both ends of the trailer and the rear of the truck,also stained balsa timber floors draw bar slides in for loading and unloading so you don't have to disconnect the trailer, it has a dog box on the side of the truck and it also has a dog in it! Side lights and taillights are Rhinestones out of China (about 3 bucks for 200 free postage ) spare wheels on both, mudflaps done on photo paper, now back to my McColls B/Double tankers. Cheers enjoy!!

Wow, that's awesome. Love what you did with the trailer floors, hate to have them messed up by livestock!
The rhinestones are a clever idea, I would never had thought to use them.
What a Beaut Merc! bigthumbsup
