It’s almost 9AM and I am heading towards the bench. I should have uninterrupted peace and quiet till about 1. Just me, my vortex paint mixer, the airbrush and tunes playing.
These are all clear coated and were dry last night. Now it’s one at a time getting a base fade. Yes, there is a locomotive box in there. That will be shown on CambriaArea51’s locomotive Continous thread, not here
While I am not complaining, I really am. After 2 full years back at the weathering bench I am seeing the same cars over and over. I got a question on FB why I show the same car over and over. Responded back, I’m not. I then posted 4 pictures of the same side of each car pointing out the weathering differences. I am of the feeling our manufacturers should produce at least one car of each run without the car numbers but supply the decals.
I have now done 12 NATX tank cars per my records since Halloween. There are only 3 separate numbers put out there by Walthers. Yes they went to different modelers but it’s a lot of time and effort to remove the numbers and change to a different one, if you want a train load of these cars.I turned down a job of 24 NATX tank cars as I do not change decals numbers.
The Atlas Naked Juice reefer box shown in the picture above is one of 4 duplicates. 2 went to 2 other modelers, 1 is my test bed for decal and hand done graffiti. This one will be lightly weathered and would be available for tags, graffiti or as it will be…
Thanks for reading, I feel better….
