Well, I finally painted the car. It was easer to build than to paint. Weathering comes next. Thanks for looking, Bobby    |

Very very nice, Bobby! The only thing I'm missing is the coupler lift bars and air hoses, but I guess they're still coming :-)

Bobby you have done it again. I was drawn to the I am guessing brake rigging down the sill of the car. Really nice workmanship on that detail. The real springs in the trucks are great, are those Atlas, Kadee? I know you said you still need to weather it so I know it is not a finished model. The only two things that I could find are decal related. The logo in the 1st pic appears a little low on the right side and in the 3rd pic I can see the decal border. Still a home run top shelf build and like you said, it's not fished. I look forward to seeing the finished outdoor shots of this one.
Regards, Scotty
