In the next installment...
The vertical poles within the cabin are attached to two horizontal overhead beams. each end of the white vertical poles have a brass cone hiding their attachments. The horizontal beams are measured and drilled with 2 mm cavities, in line with those pre-drilled on the floor and in the rubber surface.
The poles are now white
The poles are then mated with their brass ends, measured precisely so the ends protruding are the same. No one likes an uneven horizontal beam. The poles must be at 90 degrees for this to work, there is stuff all play in them and they are fragile...
This is what we get, one side completed. The horizontal beams are varnished afterwards.
There is a door of some sort that sits inside the frame of the exit leading tho the front of the car. I'm not sure where the door disappears to, but it's there in real life too. Maybe it is a concertina door? We must make the door up from these bits. The door panel is a laser cut piece, the brass brackets are the same pieces seen earlier, and the handles are from the same wire that made up the horizontal bars on the windows. I shaped the handles using the pliers shown in the photo. A bit of overkill perhaps, but it was effective. The scale is very small. The flat brass strips are cut from a strip provided.
I've taken to using Zap No-Drip Gel, it's superb stuff and I'm a fan now.
Varnished ready for insertion
