Next stop, WEATHERING! The freezers are ready to roll, the cabeese still need window glass but won't get it until the weathering has been applied, and the steamer will receive a bell cord and whistle cord after weathering. Note the coal load in the tender. I will be using multiple techniques; brush painting, air brushing, and adhesive powders, as required, to get the look I'm after. I may also include a few other cars that need weathering, or maybe not. We'll see.
Looking good! The Baby Ruth car looks particularly interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jim. The orange was a real tough color to match, and I suspect it was originally closer to a true red on both the prototype and model, as the vintage 1920s candy bar wrapper was red and white. But I really am pleased with how it turned out, especially being able to use the propped-open ice hatches.
