WARP 10 Car Kits

[Schraddel]

Hello,




Here two Car bodies, made out of the not so warped parts, were half done. The sides had still the tendency to bend inbound, so this was prevented by inserting som kind of quick and dirty frames. Lateron, when the roof is mounted, you will not see them anymore, so their appereance does not matter.
The AT&SF car was rather nice straightforward built because the parts were fairly straight.
The CP car was not so. At one corner the height of the side was not matching the height of the end. A glued stripe of thin (0,3mm) styrene sheet was applied. Later this stripe could be filed down to match the height.







First attempt to replace the brittled away door rail cover.





CP car. Drilling and dry mounting of the grab irons. Here they are made mostly out of steel.





AT&SF car. To align the grab irons in  a quick and easy (i am lazy) manner, i sharpened a suitable styrene stripe on one end. Push this sharpened end unter the dry mounted grab irons and they all are positioned in exact the same distance from the wall.





CP car. There are still some small parts to mount (or not). Not all of the CP cars hat the reinforcement angles or additional hatches.
The most grief was caused by the door rails. Extreme thin, extreme long for their thickness and the resin ist extreme brittle.
