Now I'm waiting for a few warm days to do some painting if I can score some flat white paint somewhere...... In a time like ours seemings and portents signify.

They still need a quick overspray to seal the top dry transfer layer, but here they are practically finished. In a time like ours seemings and portents signify.

Clover House says not to use Dullcote on their transfers.

Lots of repair to this car and bits reattached, etc., but probably keeping this one. Sides were printed paper applied over plywood/compressed paper stuff. Doors open!

George Fly Army Country: USA | Posts: 16937 Michael Hohn Fireman Posted - 01/03/2021 :  09:43:01 AM       Beautiful models. Martin. Maybe you know this, but the doors on the Pennsy boxcars had special hardware and were recessed when closed so that they were flush with the sides. I like all them.

Mike Yes, but I think that getting a kit car that's older than me to actually do that with opening doors is more than a little tricky. Maybe when I build the unstarted kits I can at least recess the doors and sacrifice operating doors In a time like ours seemings and portents signify.
