It's really looking the part now the trailer is painted. Nice one.

I agree, not much point in giving it too much detail if you're going to use in battles!

With part of the weight of the trailer and the tank on the rear wheels I'm guessing that you don't have any problems with traction and pulling power with it.

Not started on the "big bu**er" yet. The chassis alone is going to be 40" long and weigh about 15lbs before I hang anything on to it. Think I'm going to need a bigger car (but I should be OK when it breaks down). And I darent tell 'er in drawers that I'm also planning a trailer for it

Cheers

Hi Paul,

Not got the dimensions for the trailer yet, its early days, but I reckon total length will be around 12 feet, possibly longer. Theres a Dyson trailer at Muckleburgh which I will measure & photograph next time I go, but its massive!
It will be a long build, but I hope to have a powered rolling chassis by the end of the year.

Cheers

Peter
