Well being a purly freelance modeler myself...here is what i do. <br /> <br />I do airbrush...but i have found that the el-cheapo $15 badger airbrush and can of propel work just as well if not better than one of the expensive model airbrushes...and hey if it gets all gummed up...just toss it and get a new one. <br /> <br />As for masking...i just use regular masking tape...but i end up cutting it to fit in certian areas of the loco. <br /> <br />Decal wise...well i decided to do something different along those lines a while back...i use Canadian National decals for my road numbers and whatnot...but as for my RRs logo...I mount that on a piece of styrene and mount the logo on the handrails like GN did on their Big Sky Blue locos...hey i figured since GN was the only RR that did that...i should do something different and thats what i decided to do. <br /> <br />You can do tons of different things if your going Freelance...nothing relly has to fit anyone elses standards. The standards of my RR are a mix of BC Rails, CNs, and GNs standards. <br /> <br />Good luck!!
