second try with an air brush paint job
Posted by cwclark on Saturday, April 9, 2005 8:48 AM
Been working on this GE U33C for a week now...it's my second paint job with using an air brush. the decals are straight... it's the camera zoom feature making them look crooked..

Looks pretty darn good, especially for only the second try! Guess it's time for me to get one and see what I can do.

This is [#offtopic] but, up_santafe, is that a Trix Big Boy in your signature? Looks stunning!

Anyways, awesome looking U33C, Chuck! I've yet to have the courage to pick up an airbrush and try my hand.

Looks great Chuck. Nice job. Nice tinge of "workin dirty" to it. The rolling stock in the back ground looks good too.

Best Regards

4884bigboy,

[#offtopic]Yeah, that's my Trix BB. Since that photo, I've done a bit of detail painting and installed the Engineer and Fireman. I doubt I'll weather this loco though, I like it's "just shopped" look.
