Aggro: That is not fair! No prototype photos! How did you get the railroad company to park that car out on the main line so you could photograph it? Great job!!!

David.
I wish that I had to work. Try being retired. NO days off, NO vacations, NO stat holidays, NO weekends. The only time off is between the HONEY, do this and the HONEY, do that projects. And the pension raises that you get don't even come close to putting gas in the car.
They say that these are the Golden Years. HA! The only gold that I see is the one lone gold filling in my mouth and in the sample bottle that the Doctor asks me for.
Oh well, I woke up this morning and no one was throwing dirt on me in the bottom of a hole in the ground. As Martha Stewart says, "And thats a good thing".
PS. David, thanks for all helpfull information that you post on these Forums. I for one really do appreciate it even if some of the information does not impact me at that particular time.

CudaKen isn't the only one with a big boy anymore...
And now a little scene with it coupling up to my challenger...
Challenger #3958 at Stormont, Colorado.
The Big Boy in the siding.
The Big Boy pulls up in front of the switch.
The switch is thrown.
And the Big Boy is coupled.
And the video of the big boy, including the videofied version of the above photos...

It begins with an airbrush coating of thinned Polly S reefer white. Some body washing, water compatable oil paints for rust, more body washing. The load spills are white oil paint.
Great sounding technique Aggro , and as I said before looks great.A semi sane modeller like myself may even be able to follow those instructions and come up with a somewhat good looking finished product.I've found that all my weathering had started looking the same ( I generally use the Bragdon industries chalks exclusivly ) I'll have to grab an old Athearn hooker chemicals car and see what shakes loose. ( the twisted side of me still wants to put some flouresant green spills comming out of it though)
