jjscott posted:Jeff, that is an outstanding job in changing a rudimentary kit into an exact scale model. About all that's left of Ambroid is the scribed sheeting. Coincidentally, I am also converting an Ambroid Olympia reefer to a truss rod underframe. Mine won't compare though; I don't have that much skill.

Nonsense. Your models are every bit as good as mine and yours display a clean crispness that is very difficult for me to obtain. The only possible difference is on this model I used more NBWs --but man, the camera sure shows I did not put a rivit or pin detail on the brake rod shackles--I'll take it apart this afternoon.....Uhh, no.
Anyhoo, I really enjoyed seeing what you have built. I like nicely put together models so much, I have even been buying some on Ebay that have damage from careless clunk heads & it's a matter of satisfaction to repair them just like their proud builders had them one fine day long ago.
And, Bob, thank you for the kind words. You've done a great job yourself and have promoted nice kit building and scratch for many years --don't think I haven't noticed! Kind regards, Jeff JJ Davies San Ramon Ca
