Here I will discuss how I go about scratch building the cab and adding detail to the inside of the cab. I will deal with the cab first of all and when I am happy with the results I will commence with the backhead. In the attached image A, C, and D were cut out on the pantograph machine and B was cut out on the cnc machine. The rivet holes on D were done by hand and the ones on B were machined on the cnc machine. The rivets will consist of scale rivets from ScaleHardware of America that have a .5mm head and .35mm shank. I am waiting for .35mm large shank drill bits to arrive from America so that I can adapt them to my cnc machine. I have decided not to fabricate the cab but to make it one piece with the sides being folded over. The fold lines will be engraved on the machine to almost the depth of the material so when the sides are folded over the edged will be sharp.
