Whelp, I don't know why but I can't insert images from imgur anymore, so I guess hyperlinks are going to have to do
This first one is the trucks: https://imgur.com/a/TWh2LPx
Then I primed the body: https://imgur.com/a/snqxEUX
Here's the floor/frame primed: https://imgur.com/a/WC1x60R
I painted the roof a light grey and then painted the end platforms: https://imgur.com/a/NbCelHE https://imgur.com/a/0GtGupZ

Then I masked off the roof and painted the clerestory sides: https://imgur.com/a/76g3mOx
I painted the bottom of the frame black. I didn't worry too much about good painting technique as none of this is really going to be visible on the final model: https://imgur.com/a/VvB5H33
The clerestory has these little vents on it. I added a little dot of brown paint to them to make sure they stood out from the rest of the clerestory: https://imgur.com/a/k0oJRss
I decided I was unhappy with the shade of grey on the roof so I re-did it with a darker grey. I like this a lot better: https://imgur.com/a/ymBYe8r
I painted the floor a rough wood colour: https://imgur.com/a/qWmLdAM
Finally I went through and painted the sides and ends: https://imgur.com/a/Anoy4nJ https://imgur.com/a/bRqjHC3

I did have to go through and do some touch-ups because of paint bleed or spots where the masking wasn't as good as it could be.
Now on to assembling the rest of the kit.
