Installing NBW (Nut, Bolt, Washer)

Attaching NBW’s – nut, bolt, washer castings – in this case they are 2.5 inch hex nut on a bolt with 4.5 inch washer. These are plastic castings from EDM Models aka Paul Martin at NG Trains www.ngtrains.com/Pages/Details/NBW/nbw.html

Each small bent requires 24 front and back, each of the larger bents require 40 …!

Use a pin vise to drill a 0.8mm hole through. I pre paint the castings with Vallejo Model Colour #337 Highlight German Black and dry brush over with #70818 Red Leather for that well worn and rusty look.
