Help! I was going to send a reply to my earlier post below and noticed that the end of my message didn't make it! Apparently putting a http link caused my note to be truncated. So two things, the note below had a link to a photo album called EBT #20 in the photo section. If you want to see what I was talking about...
Second, what am I doing wrong and how to you put a link in a post? Or at least add a reference to an album in the photo section.

I've made a clearstory roof from scratch once before and it was not fun and I didn't want to do it again. :) Of course it has been collecting dust since. Lee's posts about his EBT layout got me inspired and I dug the old roof out. After scanning though my EBT books the roof closely matched the one on #20. That was good since that is a pretty interesting car. Setting to work and keeping to my rule of "if I need to make more than one of something, make a resin casting" I made up masters of the side and end of the car using styrene. I posted some photos of the results.: [link to photo album removed] If you are familiar with the car it has a center window which appears to be missing from the casting. It turns out that the middle window was different between right a left. I made the master so that I could machine out the center window in the two different positions. At least that is the theory. :) I'll post more as I make the floor and rework the HO roof to fit the sides. Keith Thompson ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
