Hello
Things are still moving forward on the railcar. I have now been concentrating on the roof and this is how far I have got. Let me know if you are getting bored yet!
I firstly laminated some black plasticard onto the brass roof profile I previously made. In this case it was 5 layers of 0.5mm thick sheet. The reason was because it was easier to get the sheet to fit the profile at the ends with thinner sheet.
I left the roof overnight so the plastic had time to set after glueing then formed the roof profile using a collection of scrapers and emery paper. The picture above shows what an end looks like before I formed them.
The final two photos show an end after I formed it again with scrapers and emery paper. The final touches were done with 400 grit just folded over itself a couple of times then lightly rubbed over the area. This worked wonders with smoothing off all the edges and rounding everything off.
So thats how far I have got now...
