Sand and Water Cars

Joel · February 8

A small detour from my work on my foundry. I found this old SierraWest kit on Ebay and although it's missing a few parts it had the 2 major castings and ,most of the small bits. I've always loved these cars and am excited to try my hand at building these beauties.

Here is the first ;layer of paint and chalk. I had to make the tubes from some brass and plastic I had lying around and tried to match the original casting by eye.

Second coat of rust on the water tank - much of it will brush off or fade as I finish the detailing.
