I have finished Ha 2.

This was one of the cars made using 3 layers of 10 thou which turned out to be too thin and too easily distorted even by weak solvents. I have used the thickest transparent sheet available to reinforce it and try to hold things flat, but there is still visible distortion. For this reason only one side has been given transfers.

 

A lot of the design and it's flaws comes down to trying to be too clever and cut things too fine. I have one more car using these flawed techniques to finish and then will move on to new techniques and ideas informed by the experiences with the ten-thou troubled trio.

 

Namely, thicker materials, less internal complexity, and likely using CA for laminating instead of any solvent (like my first carriage, HoHa 10, which has not distorted in the slightest all these years).
