Well, the project is on hold why you ask, The brass is too thick to work with I tried using a jeweler saw it took too long, I tried my Dremel tool which is too dangerous, I tried a full-size saw with the wrong blade, I tried a mini bolt cutter that's too small. I have access to a full-size bolt cutter that I will bring in my brass sheet and that should work since it's larger we'll see.

Can I turn this sheet of brass into a N scale boxcar/gondola?

The latest Yellow from Tru-Color
I have lots of hope for this one, I've opened it and it looks better than some of the other yellow paint that Ive purchased.
WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!!
This is it, I used the Tru-Color on some bare brass and it looks good I'm sure it'll look better on top of some primer. I may actually decide to have the brass shells professionally painted we will see.

Kato Industrial Building 23-310 (aka the kit I love to hate)
Kato Industrial Building 23-310 is the kit that I love to hate. I've grown up with Kato buildings for the past 10 years and haven't had much of a problem with them. Lately, I have had an issue assembling Kato buildings, I had a problem with the Engine House and the Industrial building. None of the kits are supposed to need glue to assemble but in both cases, I needed to use PVA glue to keep them from coming apart. Below is the finished product that will make a home on my layout.
