I would like to scratchbuild this sleeper in the picture. But I am stumped as where to start. The truck is no problem.



My idea was to cout out two sides exactly alike, and a roof. Glue and then fill in with putty.

Let me know please.

I doubt if any kit maker has that type of bunk That is a custom built bunk Normally traucks don't have that big type
