I'm not obsessed with car haulers, but I do like them...and have replicate a few...as some of you know. ACME's upcoming release of a 1/18 "factory Shelby Mustang" is food for thought. I've never replicated a car hauler w/a load of identical vehicles, but ACME is tempting me to do so. Just imagine a 1/18 semi full of 1965 Mustang Shelby GT350s! 🤔 🤔 🤔 😎 😎 😎

Not for nothing, but you have to a bit obsessed just to entertain this project. One other point: If/when you finish, do you have room to display it? If so, God bless you!

- Yes, I think so too Gavin...AND... I have "options" as my above pics reveal. I could "de-content" the Shelby load. This may be LESS work, and I'm always in favor of that!
- Yes Rich, I have an auxiliary area in my locked hobby room that I could utilize, if need be. But as you know, talk is cheap! Actually "making it" will take effort.

Hey Chris, why not model the holding yard while you're at it?

Well, that's a diorama and I promised myself that if I do a diorama in 1/18 scale my first one would replicate a battle scene so as to include all my WW II "stuff." However, would this Shelby staging area be awesome in 1/18? YES, you bet it would! 😎 😎 😎
