Next comes the roofs.  While building the  Ferdinand Magellan  car, Barry created a jig to build the curved roof.  He created the roof in 'sections' that allowed him to cast several sections and attach / assemble them together.  Here are the roofs of the two RPO's and some close up angle to see the roof details, along with the joint.  Try to count all the HO track nails  (rivets).

Note:  You can see the  'roof jig' and the mold used to create these roof sections,  on the Ferdinand Megallen  pages.
