In various threads the subject of my log car project has come up. Well I finally have the first one done. So here it is. It starts life as a Red Caboose flat car. The decking is cut off of it. The frame is cut so its flat not a fish belly. The ends are covered in styrene sheet. Details are added. Bunks are made of brass to get the weight. The decals were part of a topic on making white decals on a printer. Not perfect but after weathering look very nice. I used various weathering techniques and use real bark shavings to simulate the leftover bark that piles up in the car. Logs were added for the finishing touches. The prototype cars are ex milwaulkee and many variations exist as milwaulkee used whatever they had to make them. After starting this project I discovered bachman made them, but the bunks are to short. I think this car came out pretty nice. I hope you like them. I have about 24 more to make.
