These are 2 versions of Procor styrene monomer tanks built from Walthers 23k. New elliptical ends were added (my own casting), saddles converted to non-insulated, all walkways replaced with Plano mesh, custom painted very light grey with Mainline decals.  |

Those look REAL Good! The extra work paid off nicely and the weathering is spot on!  |

Here are some shots of the ends.   I used the original bolster/saddle from the kit but modified it by putting a piece of sandpaper to sand the saddle to fit. Remove the molded on covers from the tank and cover with a piece of .010 styrene with ends rounded to simulate the reinfocing plate. |
