WARP 10 Car Kits

[Schraddel]

Yes Wayne,
this can be accentuated again and again.


In the case of the heavily warped end wall of one of the CPR Cars, is had to take arbitray measures.
First glueing a 4 x 4mm square rod onto the inner side of the end.





Then glueing two pieces of 1.5mm sheets onto the sides of the rod. Let the glue harden out.





You will get a fairly straigt end wall. The massive installations will prevent the wall to bend again ond over the days, weeks and years, the resin will cure and straighten out strainless.





There are now 2 1/2 car bodies made and i started to prepare the roofs for them.
I decided not to use the petite frames which were in the kits. Too weak and too brittle to straighten the warped roof halves. Instead i took some pieces of 0.5mm styrene sheets, bend them into the needed angle and glued one of the roof halves onto them.





Here in the foregound the running boards were mounted.
Behind the second half of a further roof is asssembled.





With this CPR car, not only the end wall was stubborn, i had to file the bottom shorter to match the lenght of the sides.





At least the third car body was done. The PE foil was stubborn to remove, so i left it were is was.
The brittled away door rail cover was restored by an brass stripe.
