New paint jobs

[UPBigBoy]

Just a few of my new paint jobs of our own rolling stock, sorry about the dust as they were just taken out of storage -

What do you think ?

 

[CbarM]

Did you have some of those on display at Avalon by chance?

Other than the incorrect number on the geep and FB, they look really good. A lot better than my dad or I have ever done! Time to blow them off and run them!

Actually the FB unit was numbered from a photo of the real unit, I'll try and see if I can find it; The Geep was painted and numbered for a friend the way he wanted but didn't want to at least pay me for the materials I used never mind my time so I still have it. If he ever decides to pay for at least my costs it's his again even if he wanted the number to be off.

Those look really good. I hope to be able to paint this well when i finally get an airbrush (and pump/tank thats not 35 years old that is already here, and a booth made up)!!

The Engines look very good. What paint and Decals did you use?

We try and use nothing but Floquil paints and MicroScale decals but it's getting harder to find either of these. We have used Champ decals but find their quality to be a lot lower than the Microscale decals.

There are alternatives. Both Badger and Truline have Canadian RR colors but you have to switch from an oil bases to a acrylic. I've used both and perfer the Truline.

Friends, hey? -rolls eyes-
I've never heard of anything besides an F7B/F9B in the 1900 series, and everything I've seen shots 1908 as an F7B, ex-4434, so I'm interesting in seeing what you find!

Microscale decals can be ordered directly from Microscale. That's where I always get them. You have to make a minimum $20 order, but that's not hard to do!

 

[CbarM]

Do they do custom decals for a minimum $20 order also??

 

[cct70]

No. I don't think you will find anyone to do them that cheap.

 

[CbarM]

Ohh..OK. Well I am gonna be lookin for custom decal sets for about 15 loco's and then maybe a few cars also...I have no idea what 1 loco set would be worth. There will only be 2 colors, nothing fancy... the name in black and the numbers in light brown...
