[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by vsmith I have to agree, the subtle two tone green body paint on the passenger cars is a nice touch and the transfers, which can be a royal pain in the you-know-where, look great. [/quote] Vic, Thanks. When I made the choice to paint the passenger coach I was kind of split on what color scheme to go by. Since I wasn't so confident on masking and painting, I was certain that I was not going to paint a great deal of it. I'm glad you liked the "two tone" approach. The other choices I had in mind were "a flat sand" color, gloss metalic green or white. In the end I bought some of each of these colors with the addition of a dark flat green. I liked the contrast between the dark green and the original color of the White Pass Coach. As for the dry transfers... they were an exercise in patience. I ruined some "O" and "A" transfers by rubbing the wrong side. A practice that seems to be followed by profanity (which not a normal character trait for me. ) I, however, now am a big advocate of dry transfer and hope to become better at it. Mt next project will be to letter and decal a caboose. I will use dry transfer to write the name of the company across the top and I will used the Testor's custom decals (white sheet) to make the company logo. Then it is on to letter the box car we discussed a few posts back and then an observation car. But, I digress...one hurtle at a time...[:)]
