Junior woke up and felt a little lagged..........

I decided i needed to spiff things up a bit ....

So i cut up some basswood strips.......

Used a strip of tape to hold em together on the cylinder side.....

Glued them on the cylinder with CA ...

Then gave em a wash with alcohol and Indian ink weathering mix...used on my railroad..

Then a few wraps of copper foil...and a seal coat of waterproof Ambroid glue.





TaDa.........Nice little Sunday morning job....done.

Looks very good, you can't have enough of wood, brass and copper together IMHO.

Metalhead,

You are truly a gifted fabricator!  That's a really nice touch on that engine.  Between this and your really neat 60G conversion, you have me impressed.

Thanks for showing us this nice update to "Junior!"
