[ quote="MichelC" post=225740]Thanks Swordsman, glad you like it. Detailing is one of my favorite aspects of modeling and reading Shep Paine's book on dios I just found out how I could have used railroad modeling stuff to add even more detail to the engine. Oh well, next time... :blink

Looking good if your looking for miniature wires ...... And you have some of those old HO switch machines .... The coils on the solinoids ..... Are a great source ..... :eek:ldguy
 
Thank you all for the comments! :v

Swordsman, thanks for the tip, sounds like a good idea. I think I'll visit the RR department of my LHS next time, which I've never done before! :D

Garage sales & flea markets also ..... The old brass track Isn't used very much any more and can be picked up for a song ...... :eek:ldguy
 
Thanks, Sharkman!

Swordsman, I never had luck with flea markets but I still keep looking out for anything useful every time I go to one.

Long time no update!

Decals are on.



The decals are much too flashy, as you can see on the pic above so I weathered them a good deal.

First step: soften the decals with Micro Sol and sand them with 1500 grade sandpaper. This gives a randomly faded look. The difference can be seen between the weathered left side and untouched right side on the pic below.



Second step: spray a light mist of the base color over the decals to further fade them and blend them in.





That's all for now.

Cheers,

M
