Caboose

Here is the finished caboose:


I'm happy with how it came out, although I messed up on the final step and forgot to mask the windows before hitting the car with matte finish, so they ended up covered with cloudy spots. After reading some tips online and experimenting with some scrap plastic, I found that the best way to restore them was to burnish each window with a piece of stripwood until the window was evenly hazy, and then apply three or four thin coats of acrylic floor polish to the windows. The result isn't perfect but it's definitely acceptable. Lesson learned...
