<<The five identical small "castings" are the ends from old Athearn motors, found in a box of "stuff" from an estate sale. The two bigger castings on the other car are retired night-lights, with the metal parts removed.>>
Hello Wayne
It's the two bigger castings that caught my eye. Thanks for sharing the "secret", they are perfect. They have that "I think I recognize that but can't quite put my finger on it" element of familiar plausibility. I do also like that you chose "hospital green" for the color. Seems like a very typical color for 1930-1940s era.
Very good job, and thanks again for the explanation.
Sorry for the very late acknowledgement to your response.
