A Distressed Z Scale 52 foot Gondola

[Jesse6669]

Oopsie!  Left a gon sitting in the tank of 99% ISO overnight.. got a little TOO distressed.  This is it after 24 hrs drying.  Not to worry, popped it in the microwave for 15 sec and its maleable.  Firmed it up with cold water.  Only thing is applying any water also sends the resin into some kindof reaction.  Still drying, we shall see how it ends up.  This resin is odd stuff...

Wow, the iso did a number on it!  I don't soak prints in iso for more than a minute or so.  They seem to get clean with a good shake in the iso and then I let them dry thoroughly before curing.  I leave them on the supports after curing overnight and everything seems to come out stable (so far).

I'd turn the dial down a little

I got it to settle a bit, it'll make a good very well-worn Conrail gon I think..

  Unless its the camera, there looks to be a relatively prototypical vertical bow in the car too!  Happy accident?

That's a bit of warpage so yep happy accident.  For the "good ones" I typically let them cure with supports attached and a raft.   If you remove them too early (or mess around like I did) they'll want to warp.
