Jerry B44 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I got a USA dome from a buddy and cut it down to fit a MTH car. Still working on it and puzzling out how to handle the light bar and which car to put it on. Leaning towards the observation car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman4449 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 This should be interesting to see when done, thanks for sharing Jerry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B44 Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 I've finally made more progress on my dome car. Took some figuring and getting other projects done. The one shows the piece, checking on fitting on the cut(gulp!) roof. It fit fine. The passenger tub has a bracket to fit onto the holes for the clear plastic of the dome car. I plan to use some window tint on it, since it was rather scratched up. The single picture shows the windows in and the roof glued together. Still some fitting/filing/finishing to do.

Cyborg1 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I've been waiting to see what you came up with and I must say, "very nice"! You won't see many a vista dome on a MTH Gauge #1, LOL! Let's hope MTH see this!! Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrown7713 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Nice dome car Jerry, you picked the hardest one with the curved glass. I am afraid of that one. Good job, Robert Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry B44 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Thanks Ron, but I did use a USA dome car part that I cut down, so nothing like your excellent work! My first dome car was a flat front one that I did make from scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbrown7713 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Regardless, it still looks good. Whenever that I can use a part, I will do it, I am not proud, most of my molds were made prior to anyone making much in 1:32, but now, wow, there is lots of 1:32 for me to kitbash. Bob.
