In this tutorial I demonstrate the method and materials I use to apply graffiti art to HO Scale post-modern period rolling stock. Micro Scale Decals: www.microscale.com/Merchant2/m...
This is the Micro Sol setting solution: www.microscale.com/Merchant2/m...
These are the Micro Scale Decal sheets I am presently using:
Contemporary Graffiti #1 87-1533: www.microscale.com/Merchant2/m...
Contemporary Graffiti #2 87-1534: www.microscale.com/Merchant2/m...

Thank you for this, I was scared of doing these decals on hoppers and boxcars that aren’t smooth like the newer hoopers but this taught me, thank you so much

@boomerdiorama 6 месяцев назад

You are welcome. They take a few applications and some work to get them to settle down.

tears do happen. i have had good luck "floating" the tear back together.

@boomerdiorama Год назад

Yes. Me too. ;-)

Excellent tutorial for those of us who need a little experience to lay down some graffiti decals!

@boomerdiorama 3 года назад

Graffiti is mainstream on rail equipment now-a-days. I tend to model the period of 2000-2010 so I like to tag the odd one here and there.

Hi Boomer, this is the first time I've seen your video and I really like it! You demonstrated how to apply decals in a simple manner and with a great explanation for each step. Thank you for your help. I will be using your method. I draw and make my own decals because of the expense to purchase them. Besides the good Lord gave me the talent so I applied it on my trains and buildings. Hey, have a blessed day!

Thank You Michael. It must be nice to make you own graphics. Something I never really ventured into. Thanks for sharing that. Cheers ~ Boomer.

Great video and tutorial. I like the way you model your decals, and your past video's prove you are a great modeler. I changed my methods over the years and have a pretty good way of doing it myself. Everything I've tried from Tamiya works great. Thank you for sharing , Dave .

Try the Vallejo dull coat i buy that if i can't get the Testers brand & you get way more out of a can than a Testers one at a lower price.

@boomerdiorama 3 года назад

Thank You. Sounds good but my local doesn`t have any in stock. I`ll ask next time I`m there. You are right about the Testers though. Brutally low content for the price. Cheers.

Boomer, great video as usual. I like microscale decals as well. I use micro sol to set up my decals, and sometimes if I have a decal that has to go over a very irregular shape I will use walthers solvaset. The bottle of solvaset I have is so old I can't remember when I bought it. It works great, but it's quite a bit hotter and using it you might think you ruined your decals but as they dry they straighten out.

@boomerdiorama Год назад

Yes. Solvaset works great.

Hi Boomer. Would it be beneficial to use a makeup sponge as opposed to a paint brush to dab your decal? Would it be less apt to tear the decal? Take care. Sean.

@boomerdiorama 7 месяцев назад

Maybe, but I don't care about tearing the odd decal or using a makeup sponge. No such thing as perfection no matter how hard you try . . . ;-) 😁

@GoViaorgohome 3 года назад

Looks great. Where in Canada are you. I’m up in Ottawa and I have been getting the dull coat stuff. If you need some or prefer it let me know.

@boomerdiorama 3 года назад

I`m on the West Coast. Thanks for the offer. Cheers.

Thank you. I work in N scale and I have found that MicroScale decals tear far too easily before applying them. I don't know if it's me being too quick to try to move the decal to the surface or if it's a defect in the MicroScale decals themselves. Any thoughts?

@boomerdiorama 2 года назад

Every decal can tear. Maybe it's a "batch " issue. I have been using Micro Scale for thirty years and find them to be the best out there.

@ivanrodriguez2038 Год назад

Hey man where do u buy these trains from im looking for a good size like that but don’t know in which direction to go to cost wise

@boomerdiorama Год назад

Any model train store should sell them.

@railfancolbyproductions9071 2 месяца назад

is this the same for if i were to do an autorack car?

@boomerdiorama 2 месяца назад

Yes. But you have to apply the Micro Sol several times to get the decal to lay down. Sometimes you need to pin-prick the air bubbles down and re-soak with micro sol until the decal forms down nice.
