Like when I did the doors I would rather put my efforts into something useful as opposed to just testing things on a an offcut of styrene. As I was looking for something else a couple of weeks ago I came across a Skinley Drawing for a rectangular tank wagon.<\/p>\n<p>I scanned it, imported it into Inkscape and very quickly cut out some 10 thou overlays for the top, sides and ends. A search in my spares box dug out a spare filler cap. The drawing has a deep filler neck so I glued it to a spare Parkside Vacuum cylinder which was the right size.<\/p>\n<p>I then glued the overlays to some pieces of 60 thou and assembled it all to make up a tank body &#8211; I am still not sure as to whether to leave it as a grounded tank or to knock up and underframe and add it to the stock list. I suppose that will depend on how happy I am with the weathering job.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2328\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=2328\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2328\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2328\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2328\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_1827.jpg\" alt=\"Scratch built Rectangular Tank Wagon\" width=\"800\" height=\"502\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_1827.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_1827-300x188.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_1827-768x482.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_1827-478x300.jpg 478w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2328\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scratch built Rectangular Tank Wagon<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2329\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=2329\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2329\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2329\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2329\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_1832.jpg\" alt=\"Scratch built Rectangular Tank Wagon\" width=\"800\" height=\"572\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_1832.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_1832-300x215.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_1832-768x549.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_1832-420x300.jpg 420w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2329\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scratch built Rectangular Tank Wagon<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2330\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/?attachment_id=2330\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2330\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2330\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2330\" src=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_1837.jpg\" alt=\"Scratch built Rectangular Tank Wagon\" width=\"800\" height=\"558\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_1837.jpg 800w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_1837-300x209.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_1837-768x536.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.railway-models-and-art.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_1837-430x300.jpg 430w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2330\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Scratch built Rectangular Tank Wagon<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This is straight from the cutter, I haven&#8217;t drilled out the rivets and added stubs of styrene rod.<\/p>\n<p>The next step is to put a coat of primer on and see how it looks then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In between while the brain can&#8217;t cope with anything too involved I wanted to do some more experiments with Crackle medium because I want to weather my Slaters Tar tub.
