The car is essentially complete, but I am going to spend the next few days adding some details to it that should give it a more realistic look. I’m planning to add wheel journals, various underside pieces, lights on top, and a roof detail. The model also needs some touch-up paint here and there. The vertical poles at the ends of the car need trimming underneath. I drilled the holes through the underside to hold them in place. And I am trying to push them into the roof piece a little so that they will stay put. They need to be glued and touch-up painted. I’m contemplating trying to add a little of the railing using a method similar to how I made the ladder for the cement silo. We shall see.
The window mullions seem to be staying put despite them being wood glued to plastic with carpenter wood glue. The addition of the Liquitex matte medium and paint at the bootom of the mullions - to glue wood to wood - is working well. One mullion popped loose, but stayed nearly in place. So I added the Liquitex matte medium and paint to the top of the mullions - gluing wood to wood - and hopefully that will solve that problem. The roof glued down nicely. I glued the top of the wood trim to the underside of the wood roof and that has good strength to hold the sides straight without allowing them to bulge out.
