IA Review

Rolling Stock

By RKBL

(sorry forgot to take photos)

Received a package of an IA etching from Evan,

Looks very detailed at first glance, so looked for instructions, no instructions :(

Gently peeled the masking tape off oneside of the styrene, hmm not gentle enough as the skeleton side frames came off with the masking tape, not good, will have to glue those back on.

Had all the separate bits on the table, printed out a picture of the IA from the computer to get an Idea of how things went together,

Now ready to glue.
