The soldered superstructure. As visible on this picture at these models the body walls and the chassis are soldered together, they aren't assembled by screws. The accessories of the walls, like window frames, rivet bands and the door handles were already fixed before soldering the superstructure. There is a large opening in the internal cross wall in order to access the corners of the front walls with the soldering iron. |
|
The same setup as before, but the roof is added. The 3D printeed roof is fixed to the body by internal screws, the screws can be accessed through holes in the bottom plate. |
|
The bottom plate. The main support rod and its brackets are still missing. The 2mm holes for the roof mounting access are also well visible. |
|
Bottom view with all supports and brackets. The springs and bearing shells are not yet mounted. The break rigging should be added, too. The break air reservoir and the gas tank will be fixed by screws in order to remove them for painting. |
|
As for this car the chassis and the body are not separable it is not possible to paint these individually green and black. Masking was necessary for painting. First the dark green was applied then the sidewalls were masked by paper sheets. The handgrabs and steps stick out of the masking as these components will be painted black. |
|
Bottom view of the masking. The chassis was airbrushed by the green paint, too, but this makes no problem, as the later black color will perfectly cover it. |
|
The second passenger car with 7m wheelbase models a 2nd Class prototype. Until the 1st World War the Hungarian 1st and 2nd Class passenger cars were equipped with double windows. |
|
This models a car with electric lights. Thus no ventillation tubes and gas light chimneys appear on the roof. |
|
The bottom view of the 2nd Class car. No gas tank fixed on the bottom plate, a battery box is installed instead. |
