Started a new caboose project.....(finished)

Dave,

Could I purchase a couple of sets of the decals? Thanks, Malcolm

Hit me offline....I am sure we can work it out. Just remember they are NOT 1005 correct but rather made to work for me!!!!

Dave,

The Burlington called their cabooses WAYCARS. The one you have a photo of is a class NE-12. The "Q" had a ton of 'em.

Love the SD45.

Sent you a separate email as well.

Thanks for the info!  Knew someone would know!

AMCDave, you need to do classes on this stuff. I would love to be able to make my own graphics. Maybe some youtube how-to videos.

So I got it pretty much complete......a few paint details later....MAYBE light weathering.....but it needs to dry for a few days.

It's a MTH offset caboose from the McDonald's set. Not 100% correct for the CB&Q but close enough for my little world.

Here it is in a company PR type shot.  I used Dupli=color primer and Testors silver paint. My own decals and a coat of dull coat from Testors too.

Weaver CB&Q box car completes the PR photo!!!

Dave, I agree with to in the above posting, your work is fantastic and I sure would like to be able to do graphics for some of my special Army and military trains items.

Great work.

Nice. Cabooses aren't forgotten on the forum.

Dave,

Which program is this?

It brings to mind the idea of using side shots to create scale patterns for use in scratchbuilding projects  (much like "Brother Love's" cabooses)

---PCJ

CorelDraw X5 (or 15 if you will)

And yes I have taken flat side shots and used them as a template to draw over to create art for my laser cutter.

You have to compensate for distortion and such....but a good start.

Fantastic work Dave!!

Nice work!  I always find well done customizing work extremely interesting and educational.

Someday I need to fire up my air brush and try it myself.
