1979 Sunline Travel Trailer

Hello All:

I recently completed a new design and build: a 1:18 scale 1979 Sunline travel trailer. I chose this project because my [now retired] dad is restoring one.

I drew and colored all parts in Corel Draw X7. Some parts are printed on photo matte paper (for brilliance) while everything else is printed on standard cardstock. There are many optional detail parts, including almost 50 for the stove alone.

I have labeled all parts and am considering writing instructions for a kit release.

Very nice indeed. There's something you don't see everyday. Lots of detail inside as well.

Are you going to pair a car with it, to display it being towed?

Superbly executed. Love what you've done with it. Has your father seen it yet?

The textures came out quite well.

Thanks for all the positive feedback.

I chose 1:18 because my dad has a large metal car collection in that scale and it would look neat to display it with them. I gave the model to him last night and below are two photos with a random car from his collection.
