Sunday Scenic Showcase April 21 Special York addition

Nice Work SIRT.  Here is my 1st weathering  of a car using water based oils.  I feel happy about it but still need to pay attention to the small stuff.  The trucks are to red and I need to start to finish the inside walls.  It did catch my eye after looking at it more.   Nick

Weathering Heights !!! Just got back from YORK and purchased some weatheirng powder in a kit from Scenic Express Hope to have some photos in next few weeks.

GREAT INSPIRATION on this weekly thread

Steve

Nice first attempt Nick.

You will find reddish trucks on older type AAR/ARA cars, not so much on PS-1’s.

Journal boxes are generally black from grease.

I used to apply black powder to outer wheels, not they get sprayed black during

the wheel rolling - painting process to speed things up.

First thing to do is dissemble entire car and paint the inside shell, door rails, inside doors and top & bottom frame.

Make a set of masking jigs out of scrap MDF if you plan on spraying a bunch of items.

I have one dedicated just for diesel couplers. Basically a box with a hole in front allowing the coupler to stick through.

Just remember, “sometimes less is more”

LI Train, have fun!

I was a subcontractor for a layout builder. I was commissioned to design and build a paper mill from wood chips to finished product. 

The first two buildings were made - the paper mill warehouse and the boiler house with kiln.

All were made using OGR Ameri-towne walls.

Not much this week.  Spent time working on layout. Built a few small things --Tool Shed-Water tanks for cleaning area.

Just got back from softball. Popped my two Advil and I am ready to go.

Steve, Nick,

The cars are great.

Joe,

I like the boiler building.

Patrick,

Those three tanks look great

Here is something I completed for a customer in the past.

Alan Graziano

everyone did a great job on there projects

Yeah, what Drew said.

Believe it or not, I'm still working on this thing.

Thanks, Bob. I think that's one of the nicest compliments I've ever received. Takes one to know one, I guess.

Hope the game went well!

Alan Thanks for allowing me to come see your workshop and your phenomenal projects!

Look forward to later this year being able to have you do some custom work for my layout.

Thanks again,

Nice work by all.

Wow guys,

Some outstanding work this week!

Thanks for sharing.

Nice work everyone!

Here are some pics of pallets and braces I made for a flatcar load on the laser cutter.

My first attempt with a hot knife pen. Made a pair of abutments with blue insullation board and painted concrete.

That just looks oh so good . . . 

Hey Alan,

Here is my version of your version of Mercer Steel that somebody also combine with Revere Sugar. I think mine looks better!

Cesar, Very nice creations. Also the pictyres that C Sam took of your layout were AWESOME.

aLAN i LIKE THE MERCER TWINS .

Hey Mr. Cape Cod with Jersey roots,

Your pictures are way better than mine. You must know how to use a camera. I can barely operate the TV remote.
