Hello Frank -

Your weathering looks very good to me. I like it!

And your English is far better than my German!

Figures, damn internet translators. It was suppose to read "Doesn't get much better than this Frankie. Great looking models."

I guess I will just stick with the English.

 

[ChevelleSSguy]

Using Google translator. I tried it too.

Ist nicht viel besser als diese Frankie. Große Modelle suchen.

Nice looking weathering. I especially like the CN and Hydra-Cushion cars. Well done.

Cheers!

Here's one that I finished up a few weeks ago. It's not based on any specific car...I basically used it for trying out a few different things (safety stripes, oils, repaired roof panels). I'm not that happy with the roof, but I learned a few things for the next one.

And here's one that I showed earlier in the thread, just finished touching a few things up:

I'm loving that roof. How did you go about doing it?

 

[FrankieBoy]

A few shots of my growing fleet of wheatered cars......








Two different Cotton Belt ACF hoppers....








For these cars I just wanted to create a dusty look.......



















The following cars are "just for fun" and not perfect projects,they have no real prototype.These older bachmann cars were a gift from a friend who found them in a old box in a dusty corner of his basement.
The Safeway car was an idea fom my kids because they wanted to have a memory of our "favourite" supermarket of our trips to California.(Please note,I don`t want to start a discussion about shopping habits ....
I've printed the Safeway and Salinas Valley logo for myself on clear decal paper.







Two more "no cost" Bachmann cars.
Not well detailed but they're making a good figure between the other cars in a longer train







More to come,
Frank
