I've become unhinged at the exquisite modeling you are doing.

It's true he is doing good work, Bill, but don't exaggerate. We all know you've been unhinged for quite some time. -- ssuR

Some progress.
Solid doors built and painted.
The lower track brackets were printed at shapeways.
The track on them is brass. Top is styrene with printed nbw's
The first layer of roofing is on.
Grooved as per the original. Only 166 pieces.  :o



Wish me luck on the ventilated doors.....

Looking good. Are there stops to keep the door from sliding off the ends of the guides?

Marty I just went through the entire build. A great job on the woodwork and the coloring with the oils. it really does make sense to use them. You have mentioned Sketch-up for the drawings for the Shapeways stuff is that all they need as a file?

Yes working in the larger scales is a lot of fun, my own preference for a lot of models is 1/8th inch to the inch or 1:8 .

Ray,
Yes! of course!
Funny; right now if I tilt the car the door(s) slide right off!
I guess my track works!
I still need to build the ventilated doors - started today.
Then once they are done and I am satisfied i will add the stops and other hardware to the doors.

Looks great, Marty. Somewhere I saw a similar ventilated car with a load of watermelons neatly packed on the floor. Will yours have lading at somepoint?
