Winter 2016 Challenge - Peter Bowen - Scratchbuilt Freight Car
Posted: Wed Jan 04, 2017 5:43 pm
Perhaps the title of this entry should be Fright Car as I have started to scratch build a freight car is a frightening prospect...!
And a lot more challenging than I first thought...!!!
I have been scratch building for over 35 years and was finally rewarded with a Master Builder Structures after my first entry in 1981 and looking back to that first attempt I had made quite a few trial and error attempts.
So the purpose of this challenge is to share with everyone how I have tackled the building of a freight car.
