I build a CofG pulpwood rack from an old Tyco skid flat. I built the bulkheads from cut up hotel room key cards and junk bin parts. Finished it off with staple stirrups, left over dry transfers and some body mounted couplers. I left the original talgo trucks on the car with some MDC salvaged wheels. Its not perfect by any means but it was fun!

| I knew those hotel room key cards were good for something. Very creative, Bow Line!

Good job Bow. Nice to see there are still people willing to use their imagination on
kit-bash projects.

Here is the prototype that was inspiration for the bash.

Nice project, nicely done. You really nailed the texture of rust on the bulkheads.

| Very nicely done! I always like seeing what can be done with the skid flat.

| I am out of town at the moment but I will post some more pics when I get back home. I simulated rust by adding a little fine dirt to the wet paint.
