I like its no-nonsense lines and the color. Mike _________________________________________________ Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.

Not much I can do with the underbody other than to mock up some bits there to fill the space. Topside exterior though was ripe for adding lots of small bits. Should be able to splash some paint on it soon.... 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.

Do you use a motor tool to drill?

That's a great looking caboose and I all the NBW's on the gondola sure give it character. Nicely done.

Bruce Country: USA | Posts: 33508 mwbpequod Fireman Posted - 11/16/2018 :  3:06:17 PM     Thanks, guys! I hope to get this gon wrapped up this weekend. So much time, so few cars to build..... Stop. Strike that. So little time, so many cars to build. Much better. In a time like ours seemings and portents signify.

This kit is wood, but can you slow your battery powered Dremel enough to drill thin styrene? I have a corded Dremel and its slowest speed still melts styrene almost instantly. It's a "newer' Dremel with Thyristors, so can't use a rheostat to slow it down like the "old" ones (Bakelite body) Country: USA | Posts: 3286 mwbpequod Fireman Posted - 11/16/2018 :  5:30:23 PM     quote: Originally posted by Bill Gill Looking really good, Martin.

It's a "newer' Dremel with Thyristors, so can't use a rheostat to slow it down like the "old" ones (Bakelite body) Mine has a "Fast" and "Slow" setting; MiniMite Model 750. I've not had it cause any problems with styrene; have had it not have enough "oompth" when drilling brass now and then, but I tend not to use for much other than wood and plastics. Not had any problem drilling any plastics as yet. "Slow" is pretty slow, The corded Dremel generally has a cut off wheel in it and maybe an end mill or a drum sander in it at most. Rarely use it with any other tool in it. Will be using a tool in it for cutting out electrical box holes in drywall (I think...) to remove the spline from a cane seat chair so I can install a new seat.
