Here we see the mass of detail parts being prepared
for installation on the Bobber Caboose's body.
The SuperScale Glad hands and Angle Cocks, as well
as rear marker lights
These parts comprise the mounts and uncoupler bars
that will be fully functional on the model
The Bobber is now starting to take shape. All windows
have been installed as well as all hand railings test fitted.
Here again we see all parts, now removed after being
test fitted. On to painting...
I sprayed the hand railings and metal detail parts
first with Tamiya Metal Primer, which works beautifully for small
detail parts. It is a metal etching primer that seals perfectly,
allowing the Model Master paint to create a beautiful and flawless
finish.
Complete disassembly of the Bobber, and a lot of masking
of parts in preparation for painting
