Weekend Project Rolling Ribs
Improving upon a hopper car by creating a better set of ribs that mount to the sides of a hopper car is the topic for this weekend project. In a previous video it was suggested that building models from kits or working to improve an old model that is a real clunker is a way to learn or improve model building skills in brass before trying to build your first scratch built model. If you make mistakes or if your work turns out to be a little on the rough side, you will no doubt come away with having learned a few things in the process.
The hopper car in this video was a shell picked up off the Internet for a very minimal amount of money. It is the perfect candidate for improving the body and detail since the basic framework and body has already been assembled. As a two part video, part one of this video will show how copper wire can be formed without to much effort into a shape that is very to scale and visually pleasing on a car of welded construction that was typical of the prototypes.
