A UFO has landed in my shop

Did you just design your very own teardrop or tiny trailer? Want to discuss it? Here's the place to post your design for discussion!

Hi guys

I am still here. Just very busy with another project at the moment. We are working on a little larger trailer that needs to be road ready by mid september.

Image

I am a truckdriver and only have time at home in the weekends, so things do take some time to built.
But dont worry, the UFO will be back in september. I still haven´t chosen a name for it, so keep the ideas coming

Best regards

What are you going to be towing it with? For me it just screams out for, Big Daddy's Orbitron. Here is a picture of it.

Thanks guys. 8)

This was supposed to have been a normal built from the beginning, but it sort of took a wild turn.
I am not even sure how to finish it all but I just solve one problem at a time.
Right now I am mostly working on the chassis. That gives time to think about how to do the roof line and spars.
I will post pictures when there is progress.
