I wonder if using a newer process might be a better alternative such as Shapeways 3-D printing? Look through the HO model threads as Ryan Harris offers a Mopac WV caboose and detail parts using Shapeways. There’s been a lot of interest since Bill sold his masters to have the portholes reissued and Ryan might be willing to produce a set.
In fact with Shapeways there’s other alternatives where a master could be made for each side to allow the modeler to cut out the entire side and glue in the Mopac version. This obviously would cost more in material but a lot less in labor in removing the square window panels and trying not to damage the rivet strips.
