Quality Time with Airbrush.
Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, July 4, 2004 11:24 AM
Hello everyone,

Just droping a note that yesterday for nearly 8 hours I was working on various model train painting projects, The first few hours were spent preping everything and getting it ready to paint. Yesterday I got accomplished the following.

Painted floors flat black for passenger cars and box car listed below.
Painted an NJ Custom Brass D&RGW "San Juan" passenger car set Testors Beret Green for client.
Painted a Bachmann 50 Foot Plug Door Box Car GN Big Sky Blue. I mixed Testors Paints to get this color. (5 parts Sky Blue to 2 parts Dark Blue)
Finally panited the first coat of primer on an Athearn former Conrail SD40-2 that I am painting as a gift for a friend. It will be done up for Milwaukee Road.

Today I hope to have gloss coat on the passenger cars and Box Car and a second coat of Primer on the SD40-2. Perhaps it will dry quickly eneugh I can paint the orange later today to.

Well that is all I have to say. Just wanted to share with everyone what I am doing on my 4th of July Weekend.

Thanks for your kind words Noah, I have been feeling fustrated as of late becuase I have had a lack of momentum in my modeling endeavors. I am glad I have been able to generate a gaining sense of momentum I can continue to maintain the rest of summer.
