Step 10Test Fit Cab Parts, then Adjust and Glue
One again, test fit cab parts, do final carving/planing. Some of the final carving inside the cab can be done after the glue dries (besides, things slip while gluing, and some fairing might be needful).
I admit to being nervous about splitting the cab roof, so I ceased the carving pretty soon after this.
This is a good time to change your mind about anything else concerning the cab. Since I "design as I go" I never know where a project is heading; here that method bit me: I really wanted a window in the cab, but I forget it at this stage, and the next, and I became lazy when I remembered after I painted the whole thing. DON'T MAKE MY MISTAKES.
BUT WAIT! On the other hand, designing-as-you-go introduces contingencies and new ideas. This happens when I write novels, too. Unexpected joys may arise. Since the whole idea of the project is to counteract some of the mass-production and hyper-planning of our society, too much planning of this train will make you a hyprocrite against yourself and your paradigm. Think about it.
