I had a very traumatic day,I spilled my custom mix bottle of dark yellow for this thing. I just hope I was able to mop up enough of it to finish what needs painted. I did recover enough to get something done but not as much as I had planned for.
I still can't figure out how I dumped that paint,it happened to quickly.
Tomorrow has to be a better day. :woohoo:

Sorry to hear of the paint mishap, Tony! I've got a couple T shirts that got "painted" that way too, at least you salvaged enough to touch up. The tracks look great, as does the exhaust, very believable and realistic. Got nuthin done on mine today, not going to get any done tonite either, guess tomorrow is another day. :idonno

Happy New Year Everybody
I running a survey asking about those skirts. I've never put any on before and was wondering what configuration would give it the best eye appeal. Can you help me here???
A front and back shot for your viewing pleasure. :laugh:
5 and a 1/2 hours to go :woohoo:

Hi Tony.
It is really looking great. As far as the side skirts go. The only things I see that you might want to change are that the small panels at the very front were actually bolted to the first full size panels on the real thing. So you probably would not see one hanging all by itself(but you should also never say never about something like this). If the first full size panel was knocked off, the tiny front piece would most likely go with it. Similarly on the left side, it might look better if you attatched the front tiny panel to the first full size panel. And the only other idea I have is that if it is missing so many panels, it might look more the part if you did a little more damage to the hangers, racks, rails, or what ever they are called (probably one of those neato German 30 letter words like kistenbeltzenabwhereflugzugsonderkrafterspitzenrack ).But it is really a nice Sturm wagon you have there.

Tony, your build has the same issues mine does, the top hangers project further than the bottoms, making the skirts not hang plumb (vertical). All the photos I've found appear vertical, so I guess I'll probably make new lower brackets for mine.

I still love your build! Thanks for getting me back on track with mine!

Thanks guys for your reply. The two pictures were what I had in mind for the skirts but once I had them in place they just didn't look right so I am asking what would look better,no what I mean Vern?
Coop if you look at the side shots you can see the three bolts in the center of those small plates as well as the two arms that bolt to the next plate.If you look at the front pic you can see the bracket they were bolted to as well(I used some blu-tack to stick the plates on).
Mike don't do that extra work and here's why. The plates are meant to angle in toward the road wheels. When they were traveling in mud or snow the crew would lift the plates off those center mounts and let them hang straight down so the mud or snow wouldn't collect and pack up behind the plates. I would say that's when they would loose them most of the time because the plates were not tucked in and protected by the tracks.
