Robert, These details really change the trailer's look! The brass adds some weight to the overall model. Which is not a bad thing. The corners are now, much stronger.
Thank you, working on getting back "into" making some more videos. Been slow with content creation mainly due to busier than usual with non-hobby activities following recent job change. Was at Spring Thaw model car & truck show this past weekend (Chadwicks, NY just south of Utica) which always helps recharge the scale modelling batteries!
@@brsnorthernhorsejourney3579 Something to consider for your brake press, instead of a razor blade try a utility snap off blade like 'Olfa'. It is much longer . Just a thought. Mostly I am learning from you haha. ;)
Never thought of using brass sheet for the corners. I'm eventually going to be building the trailers for Knight Rider and Smokey and the Bandit and they have these angled corners.
There was admittedly some "Goldilocks and the Three bears" involved: .016" sheet aluminum was too thick, .010" styrene strip was still a bit thick and would be hard to bend properly (separate strips could be used however that would leave two gaps still to be filled), .005" styrene is on the delicate side for solvent cement...shim brass .003" thickness was "just right'!
@@crushingvanessa3277 It does work well, I use the medium viscosity gap filling type. Applied to 3/16" wide corner strip it has a lot of gluing surface, and doesn't creep out along edges of the brass cover piece.

Excellent tutorial . Great use of household tools that the average person might own. Keep the videos coming PLEASE. :)

@@navyf4s Great suggestion - an Olfa blade would definitely be long enough to span full length of piece for that bend. Thank you for mentioning that.
Great video thanks robert
