OK, here’s the latest project I threatened you all with. I had gotten decals for a PRR Covered Hopper because, in this case, I had an undecorated Aristo kit.
But I didn’t like that they had only square hatches, I wanted a Pullman Standard type that had round hatches. Maybe tank car hatches would work, but how am I going to get 8 for each car? Hmmmmmmmmmm.
So I was holding a bottle cap from Kroger water, and it looked about the right size and shape.
What do you think? Ten foot rule?
Now it’s off to the paint shop for a severe weathering. I might even use some of that glow-in-the-dark paint I bought on clearance. There’s a beautiful word - clearance. More pichers to follow.
