WARP 10 Car Kits

[Schraddel]

Hello,

meanwhile my eardrums got better and i can hear my locosounds again, so let's start building. But not all parts were plain, the dwell time in the oven was too short.


One of the difficulties with this kits is to determine starting points where you can begin the built.
Here one of the starting points were the part of the bolsters which stick out of the underframe. Photo shows the second car.





The mounted bolsters.





Next two starting points were a) the sidewall and front wall have the same height and b) they are in an 90° angle to be mounted. Inside is an angle of some Brass piece. For not sticking the brass piece onto the walls, i put a layer of thin PE (Polyethylene) foil between walls and angle.

The next difficulty i ran into was the glueability of the resin. Although i use CA glue, there is no immediately stick. No Sirs, CA reacts here in this case like ordinary plastic glue and needs some hours (!) to harden. So every glueing operation taks some hours to cure before you can make the next step.





In the evening the previous bondings were cured, so i was able to assemble underframe, one sidewall and one end wall. Using a lot of CA and made a fixature. This is overnight curing.
