HO Scale Bobber Caboose Build

The name really says it all, I am working on designing an HO scale bobber caboose for the base found in the attachments. It is in my school clubs livery and will most likely be used in a scene as a building vs. a car.

This is the basic plan of the model. It has roof, cupola, and main body. Other details such as grab irons will most likely be thin wire.

Very nice textures there. Glad to see you able to post photos

Thanks, they are all from different online locations and ones I felt looked fitting, finding one for the caboose sides was harder than you would think.

Nice work, I look forward to seeing your build. Are you going to do other rolling stock, or locomotives?

Maybe if I can find some more empty bases, having this one is the reason I did it.

You can get used HO or N gauge cars very cheap on Ebay. A buck or two is average. Of course stay away from "collector items".

Got the file printed but there is an obnoxious white line in the cupola. I will most likely use a red pen or something and try to cover it up.

looks like either a bmp relic or a printer issue. red pen should work

When I was zoomed in it wasn't there but under super zoom I could see it. Most of it will be hidden by the roof though so we will be good there.

Another problem found was it is quite pink, may try another with it darkened
