So, I have two engines that are waiting for their cabs to be completed. The problem is that they need canvas side shades over their side windows. So, here is a cab for an Oriental GP9 with a canvas roller system over the side window. I have put the first silver coat on the windows and drilled the holes for the shade supports. I also added the wind deflectors.
Here is the window on the other side which I have modeled as open.
Just a view of the third workbench with backed up projects!
Now I have added the engine numbers using Champ numbers
The other side of the cab. I still have to do more touch up to the silver window trim.
Here I have put the numbers on the RS1. Also painted the stack a silver that I will weather later. This is the other engine that needs a cab shade in canvas. This one will have open shades, rather than rolled up ones.
I also use rub-ons from Clover House for my road names. I set the backing paper in place, carefully measuring for level and placement. Then I use two different tools to rub them on. A board tip fr large spaces and a small tip to get closer in corners.
This is how it looks after the rub on.
The other side window. You can also see the fuel lettering above the fill. I have to paint that red.
Here is the lettering done on one the side. The smaller lettering are Microscale decals.
Now, on to the cap shades!
