Description

Two of the four cars down, two more to go. Tackled the 2nd Palace car today, making sure not to repeat similar mistakes from the "El Siglo" build. For the most part, the building procedure was the same. Tape over the arched windows and oval windows for a faux prism appearance, enhanced drilling of the roof vents and snipping of underframe parts to get them to fit/mate onto the car frame. However, with some of my added knowledge of the El Siglo build I feel like I partially sped the assembly up a little bit. Still took long especially due to exposure to glue fumes but still felt "faster" than the other build.

In due time this car will recieve metal wheel upgrades and interior. The car is VERY light so I will try to make it heavy in time to track better, however as it is now it shouldnt be a problem as I really dont plan to run it outside of the base 4 car set.
