aydingocer got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Orient Express Sleeping Car 1929 by aydingocer - FINISHED - Amati - Scale 1:32
BUILD DAY 37 / 2 hr / (TOTAL: 98 hrs)
The decals on carriage and head ends are ready, now finally it is time to assemble the carriage walls on the structure. A very delicate work where you use CA glue on a rather long structure and get the positioning right at first try. I dry tested and tested and tested and finally got the courage to do it. The idea of laying it on its side on a soft sponge helped get it done more easily.
Below some photos showing the progress and the end result.

Assembling the head ends (with bellows) as well as the swing doors and lobby doors I had prepared earlier.
The swing doors on either side of the bellows, as the name suggests, swing open and close, with the help of a copper bar. The small doors inside the bellows are fixed. There will come a folded iron plate glued on them later. That plate is supposed to be opened to form a "bridge" between the wagons to allow passage, when the doors are open.

This is all for now.
Thanks for watching!

That could have worked, too, I guess. I do have Gorilla Glue actually but it didn't occur to me. Though, there is very limited possibility to clamp anywhere on the structure it would be very difficult to keep the parts squeezed until the glue has cured. But anyway, now I did it this way and the result was satisfactory enough 🙂.

Thanks, Yves, I have been following the tips you posted earlier alongside the manufacturer's instructions and results are great. The residue around "140" decal is barely visible anymore (below), after one day from application. The photo is taken under direct table lamp.

That must be nerve wracking.... Have you thought about using Acrylic glue such as Gator Glue? It gives you plenty of time to position the parts. You can always re-enforce with CA glue later on.
