It has been a long long time now since the development of Tonkin Replicas lowboy trailer.  Here is a photo from 2004 showing part of the product development.  I found this in the archives, and thought it was interesting.

At Tonkin Replicas a lot of ads get made.  Quite a few concepts, several of which end up on the cutting room floor never to see the light of day.  Here is one rejected ad example, produced for fun by a senior artist (who was apparently very hungry).
