I converted an MTH N6b (the one with the moving guy on the back) to an offset version. After procrastinating finishing it, I finally got the nerve to do the decals.
Before:
After:
Cut roof:
Flipped the cut piece around to accomplish the offset:
Gorilla clear epozy:
Intermediate state:
Sanded expoxy joint (you can see the clear epoxy joint most clearly on the right side in this picture, the seam runs between the two vertically aligned holes) :
Lost some stuff π‘ and had to rebuild π:
New guy lines for the stack:
Primered:
Gloss to hold the decals (it's a tad too red, it's scalecoat II oxide red rattle can, should have used prr freight car color I guess, but this is as good as I am going to do on this):
Finished (I like it, it is a bit less red in person):
