70 ton hoppers

[Johnreese]

Here is my latest modeling work of three (3) 70 ton 2 bay hoppers from Bowser. These were undecorated kits, assembled, then airbrushed,
decaled, and finally weathered to reflect cement from a Walthers cement factory. I chose one each from all 3 major western railroads, Union Pacific, Southern Pacific,
and Santa Fe. Grimy is the word.

I see hours and hours of work. It seems I should do more than hit the 'like' button. The Bowser kits are nice I think and what you did with them is phenomenal.

The effect of the pooled paint on the bottom angle iron is a nice touch. Catches the feel of overspilled cement gathering especially of the ATSF car.

Thanks. The dirtier the better I think.
