Trailer diversions - tomustang - 11-16-2014
On with the vehicles, I found some boats. One's a goofy looking matchbox which is widely proportioned and the other is a jon boat by Merten. They both needed trailers, well maybe not but I diverted my attention away from the military models and just had to make them
Started from scratch:

And one with the boat on:

Jon boat, I ended up making two, the one up top is a thicker chassis and the one below is a thinner chassis.

Someday they will get painted

That is an interesting build. Not a common thing to see on the layout but definitely would add to a river or lake scene.

Nice work on the trailer but if the hitch was really where you have it on the SUV you wouldn't be able to ever open the rear door.
