It's been a few months since I've done a model railroad project, so here we go!

This is a Life-Like (pre Walthers takeover) Proto 2000 type 21 8000 gallon riveted seam tank car kit.  
They're our of production, but if you search on e-bay you can find them.

This isn't exactly what I'd call a beginner kit, but it's not an expert level kit either. 
All in, it took me about 6-7 hours, including waiting for the glue to dry.

This isn't the only way to do it.
It's probably not the best way to do it.

But it's how I do it.
