Hudson Rugga Skip part 2
The start of a series of varying skips
Hudson Rugga Skip continued..
I have sort of jumped a bit ahead and will do a step by step over the next couple of days. In the gallery below are some photos of 3 skips in various stages of completion. (none are complete)
The vegetable transport or flatcar variant is 95% complete with some slight weathering left to do and the addition of the produce to the crates.
The water tank car is only 50% complete still requiring bracing and various details along with paint work. The paint is only the base coat.
The small gondola variant is about 75% complete, using one of Modelearth's resin castings for the upper portion.
The complete skip was cast in Brittania metal and is bolted together with 00-90 and 0-80 nuts and bolts. The wheel axles fit into sealed stainless bearings inset into the journals.
