Thanks Wes, it's definitely different. I don't recall ever seeing a PC built into an RC like this before.
Sneak preview time!
I wanted to give the trailer container the same treatment I've given the cab. So I got to painting.
Ah, the joys of Canadian winters and homes without garages. Not ideal, but should wok to my advantage for the look I'm going for. I used some hardware store spray paint as a base layer that has a primer built in. Then I shot it with some Tamiya PS Cobalt.
Cut out some stencils on my Cricut for the two main contributors to this build, EVGA and Tamiya. By the way, if you're into computers, and want to save a few bucks, use code: SBG at checkout on

I like this Cricut machine, it's come in quite handy. Note to self, use the less strong adhesive vinyl next time to avoid all the peeling of paint when you remove the stencils. That said, I was happy with the distressed look that it helped create.
To make it look abandoned and crappy, I started airbrushing some tags/graffiti. This is stressful work. Freehanding this stuff so small with a dual action brush is NOT easy for me. I'm still pretty pleased with the results.
I took pictures from around my neighborhood to find some nice accurate artwork.
The end result. On to the weathering!
