Hey Dan have ever heard of when painting you lay your base color(Red) then mask it, then paint your base color again over the masking that way it seals the bleed lines in the masking then do second color(yellow) it helps to get crisp lines. Just a tip tho great work…….
Not following your line of thought. Taking an existing model (instead of buying new all the time), and trying to make it look better is good, no!@@ShawnCalay-hi6gy
hello DansRailroad2011 & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool thanks DansRailroad2011 Friends Randy and super cool video and cool Locomotive 6315
As always you take it way past the next level and you absolutely killed it! I’m always amazed at how much detail even the smallest in to every project you do. You are a master modeler in the highest sense of the word! Well done beautiful model!
I skipped around a bit and I'll have to go back and listen and watch everything, but I wondered why the lengthening of the angled roof top side edges weren't included. It shows on the original photo you showed and I thought that feature was very distinctive.
Would it had not been better to start off with a ACR bowser SD40-2? Would have already had all the details other than the steps and rear head light? Other than that nice work!
Dan,check out Cannon & Co detail parts for the fans and also check out Circus City decals and see if they have those chevons you're looking for,they have a whole bunch of chevon decals or highball graphics decals..
Interested to know how you are going to make your own handrail stanchions - if that is what you meant. Bent rails are a problem; my best solution to date is to use guitar string. It forms OK and solders well; and under usual conditions is resilient. Not sure what to do about handrail paint adhesion. Probably emery rub pre-painting to give tooth, then enamel. I believe ??? Tamiya make/de a paint for flexible model racing cars; it might help the flex problems. Useful comment about prototypes having bent rails. The problem is they don't bend in the same way, just as the 'ripples/wrinkles/corrugations in prototype streamlined passenger cars don't correspond to those we generate in models. Nature doesn't scale, so the deformations we get are not the same as 'they' get. Love to see you try a scratch-build....
