Trailer Trash Updated with Pink Flamingos 20 May 2012

[CptJake]

Still looking for suitable cheap cars to dirty up and put on blocks, some pink flamingos, and I need to get a urban mat, BUT here is the Tophet Meadows Trailer Park, in all its glory!

I had bought the Plasticville Hobo Jungle and Trailer Park in O Scale and sent them along with a couple resin pieces to Sabol Studios ( http://www.sabolstudios.com/ and his pictures which are better than mine here:  http://www.sabolstudios.com/redneck-utopia )


A bunch of pictures here:  http://s247.photobucket.com/albums/gg134/CptJake_Minis/MobileHome/Full%20Trailer%20Park/













Sorry for the poor lighting.  I'll try to get some better ones this week.

  KEWL ! 

that plasticville hobo jungle has been gnawing at me too, but shipping to Belgium makes it a bit pricey.
One day though... (if i don't scratchbuild some before that day)

The giant discarded cola cans.

Looks a reel nice neighbour!

[Oliver]

Wow that's bang tidy! 
Look's awesome especially when they are all together.

Looks great Cpt. How did you make the pool...or is it a resin piece? I think you have captured the look of a rural southern "community" perfectly!

[CptJake]

The pool is something Matt at Sabol Designs threw in for the project.  I can tell he made the paltform and fencing and added the water effect, but am not sure what the actual pool came from.  It looks like plastic, but not sure if he used some container from something or had an appropriate scale pool laying around.


Again, Matt did a great job on the parts he did.  The scratch built barrel grill in the picnic shelter is a very cool add in too.

Daaaaaamn, this is awesome....!!!!

The used-toilet flower planter really adds realism to the piece.  That's as authentic as it gets.  Great layout.

Greater than the sum of it's parts... now git off ma lawn boy!

[Bako]

Yeah, the pool is just a plastic container/cup-thing. I've got one in my discarded plasticware bin.

"I'm not happy with the US flag (which came on the trailer) but can't think of something suitable to replace it with.  Any ideas?"

Try this;
find pictures of flags online copy and past and print out a sheet. seal the printer ink by spraying with some testers dull coat, cut out flags and glue to surface using white glue  a black and white POW flag would be a great addtion with this set.

Its starting to look really great, Jake!

Now I'm just waiting for them two Camden Brothers...

"a black and white POW flag would be a great addtion with this set.

As would a confederate flag....

Great idea on the printout though, i'll try that for my stuff!

[CptJake]

One of 'em has a confederate flag already:



Yes, I realize I got the number of 'stars' wrong...
