Cody is working quickly toward outfitting our HO scale Winston-Salem GP9 diesel locomotive with the essential fine details and weathering effects. In this video, he shares how he touched up minor flaws in the decal application and added a few more detail parts. He then shows how he used an airbrush to apply weathering effects to the body and trucks to give the model an authentic in-service appearance.
Another good episode in this series Cody! Glad you are back and comfortable with using the word 'alright'… and using phrases like 'dipsy doodles'. Whenever I get decals crooked on a project, it is 'caddy-womped' until I get it straightened out.
If I remember right, you removed the wheels in the beginning prior to weathering the trucks in this episode? Any problem with leaving them in and just masking the bottom area to keep paint off the treads?
Finally, I was disappointed you have stepped up to Jenny's level and are able to do all these shots on the first take, thus leaving no good 'out-takes' at the end. Anyway, this has been a great series… well done!
Wow! Fantastic job Cody, model looks great. I have one question, how did you put the windows back in the cab? Maybe I missed it. I'm planning on adding brass see-through steps like you showed in another video. Also adding the intake shutters from Plano Models. I have a practice shell I've been working on. Thanks again Cody and MRVP.
Cody, I admire your patience. It's a good modeling virtue to emulate.
I can't wait to get started on my GP9. Without this video I would have made a lot of mistakes and probably trashed my model. Thanks Cody and MR VIDEO PLUS.
Nice work Cody. Nice looking old Geep, can't wait to see it running on the layout. Thanks
This is such a good series.
All the MRVP content is enjoyable, however, this series is something extra special. I truly enjoy watching this project come along. Thanks Cody!
Great series so far Cody, very informative.
Cody,
Won't have been better to weather the Filter area before putting the screens in place?
Another well done episode.
