We cannot always hurry through an assembly process because fabrication work precedes the task of putting all the parts together on a model. In this video we illustrate a problem cutting a thicker brass sheet of 0.025 and how the problem is fixed. Following that presentation we stop and bring the tank together on top of the frame to size up the look and feel of the model midway through the building of the model. Sizing it up means does it look satisfactory to the eye even though you may have cut everything to the correct dimensions. Looking for errors in your work because now is the time to make the correction. Sizing it up also means double checking your dimensions. In this case, I plan to make another tank that will be slightly smaller in diameter but not so much that you would notice it on a video. However, I plan to make several of these tank cars so we might as well do it right the first time because the 2nd time should be a cinch.
