Putting Preiser 65602 Seated People that I painted in the Union Pacific "City of Denver" Dining Car. I installed seat backs on 32 seats.
I also installed a scratch built Refrigerator and partial Grill in the empty Kitchen area. The kitchen is seen through a door only, no windows.
Still Putting Seated People in the Dining Car: The Sofa-style seats take more grinding to fit people at the tables. I am now finished placing people at the traditional tables. I posted some progress pictures.
Building a Refrigerator: 1. Cut the front face of the refrigerator out of white Plastruct styrene, 2. Cut two doors out of GREY Plastruct. 3. Glue doors to front face. 4. Use a "pin drill" to make holes for the door handles. I used regular staples bent with a needle-nose plier. 5. Slide staple/handles through holes and use scrap plastic to space/lift the handles from the door. 6. Apply glue to back of staples/handles. The rest of the refrigerator sides are built with Plastruct sheeting.
Note: The Kitchen door was blocked by a wall in the floor piece. I had to cut it away to see the refrigerator and rest of kitchen after I moved the Refrigerator and Grill to the left 1/2 inch. The last picture shows the floor marks from the removal of the wall. I used the scrap right-angle wall to line up with the refrigerator.
Sincerely, John Rowlen
