As the title says, using the interior that was removed from the Tonka RV build I built a styrene trailer on a plywood base around it....

Thank you everyone for checking it out...I still have this rig, it's was a crazy time at the tail end of the Covid fiasco era a few years ago. World going berserk and I'm holed up at home building an RC 😂 Here's a pic for size comparison with one of my 1/18 scale rigs 😁

Look up the dims of your plastic tgen go on tge bay. I usually get 12x 24 or 36 sheets. I also bought the one below for beds. Its smooth on one side and rough on the other.

Yes..it was slim pickings trying to find styrene at that time..some brick-and-mortar places that shut down at the time never reopened 😐

I typically ordered mine from online model railroading shops, or directly from Plastruct, Evergreen, etc, or I went to a local craft store. We have a Jeffrey Alans here that sells all kinds of crafty stuff, with a small corner that is mostly model kits and model railroading gear. Their styrene and brass section always had a lot of goodies there.
 
I gotta admit the first few pics had me wondering wth.. but the detail on the toiletries and then propane tanks. F-ing awesome. It always amazes me how people can stay on track to finish things like this. I don't have the attention span myself. Great job though. Very nice.
