I got a bit of inspiration from watching you guys doing scratch building and decided to have a go.

The trailers is off a FLAK 43 and the rest is made from Balsa wood, spare boxes and equipment. The Tarp is made form Milli-putti. Its about 80% complete. The nex stage I am going to make some netting out of a first aid banage and cover the trap, weather the wood and then trailer.





Comments welcome

Gday Gary
Like the look of your trailer here!
The milliput tarp looks the part, although the rolled tarp in the back maybe could 'flop' over more at the end where it juts out from the ration box? Oh, and I assume they are captured US rations? They look familiar. What brand are they?
I reckon once you have the camo netting in place it will tie everything together nicely!
Cheers
Brad
P.S. That's some wacky looking vehicle you have there in the last photo! :-)

Haai Gary,

Nice project you are working on. I like the personal touch on selfbuilt combinations which still make -in this case- a "german impression". In case of constructing a fictive Anhänger-built-up, I think it's wise to check what items you stash on the cart itself. Try to keep them as German as possible.
Maybe you can add some rope around the stash/milliput, so it will not fall off during transportation.

good look on further progress.

I also accomplished a work taking advantage of the cart of Flak 3,7cm.
I used used phone cards, plasticard and copper threads, internally I used sprue to reinforce.
