Chevrolet Pickup Truck Camper Model

This is a slide-in camper I built for a die-cast pickup truck model when I was very young. It is quite detailed, but not my best work of late. I have made several other camper models, but this is the only one that I still have and plan to keep.

would you consider making these to sell

[Cadillacjack01]

Doubt it... The time it takes, the effort, and the fact that I rarely stick to plan would make it difficult to run as a business.

How many hours did it take do you estimate?

[Cadillacjack01]

Not sure, has been so long ago now, but I seem to remember it taking a few weeks, working a few hours after school most days and some on the weekends. I wasn't much for studying and homework...

Wow! You really have talent! From the proud owner of a 2003 Lance 920.

Thanks. That's funny because I actually came up with the idea to build it from a Lance camper catalog I had. It was one from the early 1980's, though.  I have always felt that these slide-in campers were somewhat underrated in the RV world, but then, this model is the closest I have ever come to owning one (or any RV).

cool... now make a real one.

Wow that's a great job. I can see you building a real one for yourself. I just got back from a trip in my '88 Lance.

Actually MPC made the Open Road kit. It is a chevy truck with an attached cab over camper with sliding rear doors. There is a fairly new aftermarket kit just for the camper. Go to Ebay and type in Open Road. There are usually several kits there.

Now its time to build a real truck camper!

I remember AMT had a plastic 1/24th model kit called the "Open Road". It was a Chevy (C-20 I think) van modified with a raised roof to a camper. It was well detailed and had a full interior. I was too young at the time to build it correctly so it came out all messed up. I would love to have another shot at that kit now. Nice model, it brings back many good memories of childhood.
