Finished sanding the body down and added the truck bolster mount points.
I thought I had some 100 ton roller bearing sprung trucks on hand but they aren't all 4 the same style. I'll have to place an order for a couple sets.
Did a little more sanding and painting on the body. The smaller indents are more obvious now. I'll have to decide when enough is enough. Added a few more dabs of baking soda and CA glue.
I did a lot of fretting over that point. I used a couple of blocks of wood on the desktop. Put the truck bolster mount on them then set the tank on top of them. Applied the CA/baking powder mix to it while they looked level. If there is any fine tuning required, I can just file or sand the mounts.
Ah, sounds like a good solution!
Some of my favourite cars are the ones built with blood sweat and tears.
Well mostly blood and tears.
(ok tears. I shed a lot of tears)
