You guys know those heart charms where each half a heart goes to a special couple?




Well, here's the G32C version of it.






Same car, different eras. I tried to dent things in the same places on each car to add to the story even though they were prob rebuilt or repaired or something. I self grade this as a B effort. It's not my best work but I learned some things about working with FUD car bodies. My dents and gouges look like small drill holes...cause that's how I made them. I thought I could make it work better than I did. Now, I wasn't expecting to drill a hole and have it magically look like a dent. I was hoping a little xacto work would bridge the gap. It kinda worked. Then I got bored and needed to move on instead of putting this back on carbon freeze.

Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
But mention his law
and you've pulled your last straw!

Alternate version:
Ed Kapucinski
Every night, he plants a new tree.
He asks excitedly "Did you say Ménage à Trois?"
No, I said "Ed's Law."

 :o :o those are the best gondolas I've ever seen next to the prototype, well done 8) I like gondolas a lot of modelers over look them but a train of beat up weathered gondolas is one my favorite trains to watch roll by.

Wow guys, thanks!
I didn't think they were that good. I guess staring at it for so long makes me focus on what I messed up.
I'm a little bummed the weathering didn't turn out as I hoped on the CR gon. You can see on the proto CR gon, there's rust under the top lip at the top of the side ribs. It turned out too subtle. I think I need some new shades of rust paints.
