That’s come out pretty well 
But did you really stick all those parts into the trailer and onto the rear deck, only to cover them entirely with tarps? That feels like such a waste — a few bits of styrofoam would have worked just as well …

If you think I'm lugging that bike on and off - you have another thing coming....
Great build and made even better with the accessories....

Thanks Steven, I'm glad you like it !:smiling3:
Thanks Mike, yeah lol in the pic that inspired this, there was a lighter-duty motorcycle on the rear deck, which to me was more plausible, but I went with what I had...
Thank You Jakko ! Yep those were my thoughts as well. I wanted the more-interesting contours that random gear would provide, as opposed to chunks of foam. But once the trailer tarp had firmed up nearly but not quite 100%, I was able to gently work it back off and recoup all those pieces for re-use. As for the rear deck, I was enjoying myself with the process and did perhaps get carried away. To me though, that much gear stacked looks precarious and once I add ropes or rigging over the tarps then I will be happy with the look.
Thank You Andy ! i'm happy if you"re happy with it ! :smiling3:A very interesting model, Ron.
Hi Neil , yep I agree ! The kit actually includes two Indians, so it didn't feel quite as wasreful. And, I was having too good a time while making the tarps and perhaps was a little excessive.
Excellent, this is gonna be a beauty, Ron. Ruck On!

The best way to do it, IMHO, is to cut pieces of styrofoam, wood, or whatever to the shape and size of in-scale boxes and things, then cover them with tarps. This will look better than just random bits of foam, which will give odd shapes you wouldn’t see in real life unless the stuff was just thrown into the trailer at random.
Ron, very nicely done mate.
Big :thumb2: superb stuff Ron. Dave
Great job Ron.
