I decided to kitbash one of the outside braced Caboose kits to show what might be done with this kit. The possibilities are nearly limitless with your imagination being the limit.
Instructions for the Caboose kit are on the website in PDF format and all you need to do is cut it to match your ideas. No need for a detailed description here, just some photos.
I don't receive much feedback on my kits and I tried something different with this kit. I had optional cutout locations for doors & windows and the cupola which allowed the modeler to choose his own design. But in doing this kit, I wonder if the difficulty in cutting out windows and keeping the square and the correct size is too much work for the average builder? Also, care must be taken to not split the siding when cutting these out.
Anyways, here's the nearly finished MOW car. It isn't painted yet as all of my paints are packed away. And the windows will be installed after painting. The cupola, roof, sideboards and body aren't glued down so I can remove them for painting.

More kits in stock
As the year winds down and winter proceeds, I have managed to get some more kits back into stock.
Including the outside braced Caboose or MOW car and the Hopper car.
These are both popular kits which sold out very fast last time. Hopefully I have enough to last for the winter.
I did make some minor improvements to both kits so modelers should be happier.
