I showed the progress on the wood sides to  my 8 year old granddaughter. She wants to know what part of the Gorilla they use to make the glue.

Gotta love 'em.

Mike,

Very nice caboose fix on the roof. Love the weathering, it looks very natural.

Great start on the box car and sorry I couldn't help on the parts you want to use.

Nice Caboose Mike.  And a good start on the box car.
If the freight door question you asked about in the rolling stock thread is for this box car, I found some info and have answered over there.

Howdy folks,

Curt, Dave, Kyle, Tom, and Rob thank you for your kind encouragement.  It means a lot to this old guy.

Dave, your Granddaughter's question is hilarious and so typical of kids.  I laughed and laughed and shared your comment with my family.  Thanks for sharing her innocent question.

The boxcar red paint in on the mixer and the car is ready for its first coat.



Have fun,
mike

That's like my friend who asked "Where do you attach the milking machine to the almond?"

Mike is the car going to be red and gray or is the gray a primer?

[Jerry]

Mike the boxcar is really looking good.

Howdy Curt, thanks for the question.  The gray paint is primer.  Boxcar red is the final color.  Have fun, mike

Howdy folks,

I had a bad experience in the paint booth yesterday. I primed the boxcar with Testors gray primer and used Model Flex acrylic for the final color. The Model Flex sprayed well on test shots but didn't adhere to the boxcar well. It's splotchy and not like my experience with the caboose (I didn't use a primer). I'm leaving it alone for the day and will try again tomorrow.

Have fun,
mike

Mike, sorry that didn't work out.
I'm sure you'll come up with a good solution.

[PRR Modeler]

Good luck tomorrow Mike.

Mike, hope you have better luck with the paint today.
