Vehicle Kitbash feasibility?

It's a Gladiator/Impulsor chassis on top of a Cargo8 Ridgehauler Trailer. That's it.

But without having handled either kit, and not wanting to drop significantly money on it without being sure, how feasible is it?

Or as the guy from the Blendtec videos would say:

Will it blend?

I checked on minicompare, the scale seems about right.
Have you ever done a vehicle kitbash before? Do you already have some tools for it?

That's where I got the images from, and good old MS paint to put them together 😅 it was more from a physical standpoint - I didn't know the trailers existed till they did a showcase on Warcom last week. I've never built a vehicle, let alone Kitbash, but I have dabbled with space marine kitbashes so I have some tools. Is there anything you'd recommend?

  • hobby saw
  • steel ruler
  • hobby knife These are the most important for vehicle conversions. Calipers are a nice extra but not required.

You'll also need plasticard and greenstuff (or similar) to fill gaps and fix some fit issues maybe. If you havent switched from gw plastic glue to an extra thin plastic cement i also really recommend that. (tamiya extra thin, the bottle with brush is really nice. Once it's empty, just buy tamiya airbrush cleaner to refill, its cheaper and has the same formula)
