Don’t know what you’re gathering for references…but there’s a free-to-download 1/48 paper model that might provide some inspiration.

Check here.

1/48th to 1/24th is 200% enlargement (192% for 1/25th btw)

Hi;

There have been some versions of that in larger sizes. I believe Nylint made one in the Chieftan model. If you need plastic siding then turn to Evergreen Plastics for your sheet stock. One large sheet for each side should do it!

Me as well.

One of my long-percolating ‘back burner’ projects is to do a 1/25 version of the old Matchbox-cars Trailer Caravan. [Yep…the ghastly pink one!]

I have the perfect-size box trailer to use as a chassis; all that’s put me off is doing interior goodies like sinks and such. I’ll be keen to see how you source the interior detail.

Yep!might have to raid my daughter’s old Barbie house!

15

No!Do not violate Barbie’s house!

Go to Hobby Lobby and you’ll find what you need!

Great idea!She might want to save it for her daughter!

LOL…dedpending on how old it is, might be worth more the the Winny.
