BLMA Gon Modifications

John,

If I remember correctly, Tom had a floor that was extremely bowed, and he used the drill bit to "pin" it back into place.

Lol!  No!  I used the drill bit to pull the sides down to create a bow!

So I wanted a gon that was bowed as a result of years of hard use.  One thing you can do with the BLMA gon (and the ESM gon) is to pry off the sides and reposition them.  I heated them up in hot water to get them flexible, and then glued them back down a little lower in the middle.  I had trouble getting them to stay put, so I used an old drill bit to "pin" the middle of the sides in one place.  I admit this looks ugly:

Whoops!  My bad.  The gray matter failed me again.  I'll go back into my hole.  Sorry.

Nice model! I wonder if it would be possible to do a 3D rendering of a really banged up, bent and sagging gondola.

Ken Ray models already does them.  I have six to build.  If you look on Spookshow's site, you can see a picture of one.

Ken Ray has cool stuff.
