Reply to "CNJ DRX-6-4-2000 project"

Aaaaand..., after waiting an extra day for the .030 x .060 strips to arrive (only 4 days priority mail from York, PA, next state over, bang-up job those USPS stooges are droing, eh?), I ended up using the .030 x .040 strips that came Wednesday. Could have been done by now. After looking at the 2 side by side on the engine, the .040 strips just looked better, based on the best prototype photo I have.

Only one side is done. Besides it being my mom's 89th birthday, I found that if I attempted to do too much at once before the glue set, I'd just have to re-arrange everything. Would have loved to have gone with a faster setting adhesive, but the pieces occasionally needed a bit of adjustment after placing, so I needed something that wasn't instant setting, wouldn't leave too much of a mess when a piece was repositioned, etc...

Here's an unfortunately somewhat blurry shot I managed to take after moving the engine from the table so we could have cake. Hope to have a better one once the other side is done tomorrow.
