You did a fine job. Mike Country: USA | Posts: 7482 hon3_rr Fireman Premium Member Posted - 12/15/2019 :  10:24:11 AM     Outstanding work and tutorial sequence. I can't wait to see your next project. -- KP -- Life is to short to build all of the models I want to. Country: USA | Posts: 7237 George D Moderator Premium Member Posted - 12/15/2019 :  10:50:06 AM     Another fine looking car. George Fly Army Country: USA | Posts: 16944 mwbpequod Fireman Posted - 12/22/2019 :  09:06:46 AM     Thank you, gentlemen! Off to the next box in the queue in the shop. It's an old Bob Peare box but I'm pretty sure that the parts inside did not originate from a Peare kit. Looks like someone started to lay out a side door caboose. Scribed siding is a plywood; loads of fun opening up holes for the windows and doors. Well, I'll have to spent a bit of time excavating window and door castings from the parts bins and see what I have that is suitable and then get to work with the scalpels, And, that floor and roof are not going to work at all; wrong contour. Looks like they came from an old Picard kit. Toss those into the tub to go to the next O scale meet. And, I've got a n extra cupola in styrene(?) and a pair of wood airtanks(?)..... Into the parts bins with those... In a time like ours seemings and portents signify. Ours is a generation when dogs howl and the skin crawls on the skull with its beast's foreboding.

Very well done. Love every one of them.

On to the cupola and ends... In a time like ours seemings and portents signify. Ours is a generation when dogs howl and the skin crawls on the skull with its beast's foreboding.

Yes, a drovers caboose, but somewhat shorter than any of the prior ones that I have built. Cupola is proving "entertaining" In a time like ours seemings and portents signify.

I'd call the "entertaining" bits a "cultural experience," mostly because my efforts along those lines tend to lead me into interesting new forms of vocabulary... Looking good!

[url=https://martinbrechbiel.smugmug.com/Cabeese/Peare-Box-Caboose/i-hmc9HtB/A] and starting to look at the ends - not the plywood scribed siding, but just regular scribed siding so a little fragile.

Country: USA | Posts: 2414 mwbpequod Fireman Posted - 01/19/2020 :  09:09:49 AM     Got the car assembled around a wood block floor that was skinned with scribed siding and then framing was added onto that surface.

Country: USA | Posts: 2414 Michael Hohn Fireman Posted - 01/19/2020 :  09:16:07 AM       Martin, That looks so nice. It gives me a hankering to order a LaBelle passenger car kit to build. It’s going to be a handsome car.
