Beer mats are the usual material of choice for this sort of thing. Much stiffer and more solid than playing/trading cards. But of course you have to go to a bar to get them….
I am not sure on the exact size but it is larger than the standard match box car size. It took me a long while to find a suitable sized truck as most are a bit small. I have a sweet bus in this size too ready for conversion.
Another way you could have added the turret is this trick iv been seeing on 40k tanks lately that allows them to rotate you hollow out a bit inside and glue a lego in it then you glue a lego turn table where you want the turret then you can just snap it on and off whenever and spin it whenever cause of the turn table
Should have pinned the cannon by drilling into the post it used to connect to the toy it was from and put a peg in it the drill into the trailer and glue the turret on by putting the peg in the hole
Awesome build, just subscribed. I was wondering since all the artillery is so heavy maybe add a couple more axles to the trailer, to give it a more heavier look, because all that weight on a real rig would make the front wheels of the rig come off the ground. :)
Only problem with trailers like this is that the walls and roof cannot really bear any load since the walls are often made from very thin sheet metal. Proper shipping containers are considerably more solid.
You know, despite having probably a few hundred mountain cards myself. It PAINS me to see cards getting cut up and used as armor lmfao.
I thought this was putting them to good use, otherwise they will sit in a box collecting dust forever.

Awesome build I really like what you did with this war rig.
What were the colors you used after the black primer? You say it so quickly in the video.

Thanks :) That is a good point adding some more wheels at the back would also make it look cool.
