busnproplinerfan Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Just had one thought. I helped unload a sea can once and inside it on the doors was a bunch of hand written notes, grafetti from the various places it was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, I'll just leave it as is. But thank you for that added tip. I'll remember that next time. 2 hours ago, Harry Callahan said: Amazing scene and great weathered model Thank you kindly.

There are locks at all four corners, underneath the bed, similar to container trailers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiking Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 I kitbashed/scratch built a mobile trailer caddy unit for the trailer. Since I am not able to put a tractor in front of the trailer, I thought it would make an interesting eye candy for the viewer and for the scene as a whole. There are different weight variations of these units. I decided to go with one that would almost handle the weight of this trailer in case the the landing legs would give way. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busnproplinerfan Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Never seen one of these before. You must have access to warehouses. I guess you have to switch from the caddie to a truck really quick if it's loaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a Youtube clip and photos of caddies: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
