00 Gauge cut and shut coaches- part two.

once the roofs had enough of the rebate removed- so it didn't stretch the end too much, I decided to fill in the coach roof end rather than try and reshape the ends.

This was done by cutting plasticard to the inner roof profile and superglueing in place.

I am aware that the coach ends shouldn't have a tumblehome but to reshape would mean a lot more work - this conversion is not meant to be an exact facsimile!

The idea of just clipping the roofs in to place crossed my mind so a simple piece of plasticard was glued to the end to aid positioning.

There are similarities of Southern coach ends and the clerestories produced by Tri-ang and later Hornby. 

However, once painted black the missing part of the detail won't be too obvious.

Next is roof vents of the Torpedo type- and ,yes, you've guessed I don't have enough- just 15 short!
