Hello People! ok,, the M-10 has its winter coat on..,,It 's not completely down yet, I need to add some snow in the running gear and the tarps... and some final weathering...
But here it is so far... The first few pics are of the engine grate cover, I spent so much time on the engine bay, I thought I'd open up the grates so some of it could be seen. I first, sanded down the back of the part with sand paper on the flat surface to thin the engine grate cover. Then using the back of the #11 blade, I scratched the grooves in the grate untill the blade poked thru., I did this for all the grate holes the did the same on the back of the part to open the slots more.. then I filed the slots with a needle file from a Cutting Torch cleaning tool .
Opinions welcome.
