discussion 1/87 Scale Bussing Nag 900 Isolierwagen and Trailer

[Allen Dewire]

Morn Rick (or late night there),

A fine job you are doing here Sir. The scribed doors look fantastic even without handles!!! I love the way you scratched this together and the results you achieve on something so small.

Now get down to the local True Value hardware store and get a can of Rustoleum for the roof rust and side rust by the doors.........

Prost

Thanks Allen, just trying to do the photos justice......with so little information to go on, a lot of this is done by guess and by golly!:rolling:.

Rick,
A lovely piece of surgery mate. Another master piece in the making.

Thanks Scottie, once the side doors are completed I'll need to focus on getting the roof side trim on and also the hitch located for the trailer. Thank the gods I don't have to modify it also. After that it will be just a matter of adding the remaining detail parts and it's off to the paint booth. Cheers, Rick H.

So far so good. The doors are finished except for a little clean up......hitch has been located and installed and I have one side of the roof trim on and drying. Side two will go on tomorrow after this one has set up. Starting to shape up, hope you like it. Rick H.

Got the other piece of roof trim installed and located and installed the fuel tank. I'll post a couple pics. when I get started on the final detailing..........stay tuned. Rick H.

Here is the final build update..........all small details are in place and the next thing will be the wet stuff. It might be a few days before I get to it, as we have relatives popping in for a few days visit from the fire ravaged state of Oregon. Cheers, Rick H.

SORRY im late on this one Rick but i have looked through an enjoyed the build an them side doors look spot on as i used to make the frames up for them side doors in the reffer vans when i was a welder at crane fruehuaf back in the 1970's an the handle's look spot on brings back memories for me as the side doors at the front when opened let a airflow through the van an blew out smelly fumes ps will the door's open at all ?

[Steve Jones]

Certainly late for this great project. Had a great time reading through what you have done. Luvin it all so far

 

[Mini Me]

Thanks Mr. Jones, good to have you along on this.......hopefully, next time you drop in I'll have some color on it. Rick H.

 

[Mini Me]

And the color is on...........Sorry for the delay, we had unexpected company so efforts were diverted elsewhere. Detail up next. Rick H.

 

[Mini Me]

Not much going on with this..........Tail lights on truck and trailer, license plates decaled, painted the hitch and washed the wheels and grill .....hope to get some washes and weathering on tomorrow and install glass and few remaining details. Rick H.

 

[Mini Me]

This one is done.........look for it in the completed soft skin section of the forum, if you're interested. Thanks to those who followed and looked in on this. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Rick H.
