Classic Jeep trailer made of CD cases

[klausbrazil]

I researched the exact measurements of a classic Jeep trailer on the internet and calculated the respective sizes at scale 1:18. Then I cut old CD cases made of acrylic plastic and glued the pieces of the body with superbonder. Some faulty parts I covered with acrylic paste. The frame is made of a piece of electric wire with an external diameter of 0.5 cm. The dampers are made of wooden tee sticks. The wheels are from a Maisto Mercedes because I did not have the original Jeep wheels. The model is simple but it serves its purpose in my diorama that can be seen on my blog Dioramas 1:18.

Well done!

I recently discovered that ABS cement (used for plumbing mostly) works amazingly well on most plastics. Better than superglue. It "welds" them together and bonds pretty quickly.
