Milwaukee, Racine & Troy HO scale steel cupola caboose - road name 1407
Don’t miss this exclusive HO scale Milwaukee, Racine & Troy steel cupola caboose.
David, when you’re doing your paint work you need a big fake Bob Ross perm to make the scene complete! Just imagine the viewers surprise when the camera pulls back from a closeup to reveal the giant perm.
I have a question re: the paint shelf I have seen in MRVP videos. What are the demensions and material used to make the shelf? I need one in my paint shop. All my paint jars are all over my workshop. Maybe do a segment on how it was made????? Keep up the great work????????
Was there any thought to use a fiberglass brush to distress the paint blobs? I think it would have toned them downed and given them a grain look.
I would have liked to see a closeup of the completed cars on the layout. I don’t think those blobs on the gondola sides look too good.
Thanks, David. I really liked this one. Telling someone how you do it is very different than showing them you doing it. I also liked the subtleties you focus on, which add up through the entire process. It’s very unlike others (Furlow) who really slaps it on thick and quick. Some can pull it off (and Furlow can!) but most of us will over do it. All my favorite videos of you and the guys consist of watching you actually performing the art. You’re really good! Now, when are you going to do that addition to the logging diorama, I’m getting restless? I want to see those stained and faded wood and earth tones and scenery.
Well done David, you are the next gen of Malcolm, Gordon and Jim for teaching weathering techniques. I’ve used powders, oils and airbrushing and like their effects with each one. I too have had problems with powders disappearing when applying the Dullcote. Thanks for showing us how to make our models look like the real thing!
This has been an excellent series — one of the best project railroads MR has done. However, I wish you had shown spraying the final coat of Dullcote over the weathering powders. Spraying over chalks has made them disappear for me. Is this an issue with powders?
Good way to show good weathering techniques.
Sure need a lazy susan for the spray booth
Very nice job David! I enjoyed the video.
David, again you have shown the “art” of model railroading. Very nicely done. Thanks.
David, great weathering techniques. Hope to see these cars in a video of operations on the WSS.
