Nachoman's caboose thread

[nachoman]

Thanks for the interest, Galen. To remove the rivets, I first used a chisel blade in an hobby knife to slice off as much detail as I could. Then I simply glued a piece of 220 grit sandpaper to a black of wood and used it as a sanding block to sand the rivets and side details off until the car sides were flat. It really didn't take long. Then I laminated the sides with the thinnest evergreen styrene siding that they sell, and then trimmed out the windows with a hobby knife. It was really fairly easy.
