Here is a project i thought i would give it a try over the weekend. It's the Laudo Racing 1/12 1950 ELLEBI LBA Trailer,Car Transporter,Silver, with extra detail and weathered. I wanted to use the Huayra BC as the car for the trailer but it is too big for a 1950 version so i went to the storage and got the first smallish car to hand i thought would fit and was the white Golf Gti in the photos. I bought a lot of the 1/10 detailed shackles and chains, hooks and bolts etc from ebay and had the silver coloured pieces made up by 3D Mesh, bought two sets to also add to the other trailer but only built on one. The 1/10 "D" shackles and bolts actually fit the 1/12 base (the one's with four bolt heads on) perfectly so anything in Silver is 3D printed and all the Red parts are 1/10 and off the bay. The Yellow Chocks are 1/14 3D printed off the bay too and all weathered by me. This is the first attempt at weathering and it may have come out a little too dark. I added the steel cable and hook to the winch after drilling a tiny hole and gluing the end into the underside of the winch. Let me know your thoughts and any tips would be handy, thanks Daz.

That is impressive sir! That's how it should have come from LR. Would you have paid for the added accessories?

Thanks for your kind words. I would pay to have all the accessories included, as the trailer is at a Great price to start with from Laudo themselves. It was a job in itself to find someone who could make the 3D ratchets and turns out he makes sets for the 1/12 scale which ended up to be very good quality pieces and quick shipping from 3D Mesh. The 1/10 red parts turned out to be too bulky for this trailer so i used the 1/12 parts that were better fitting to the trailer
