Brush-painting an old Roundhouse loco --- I hesitate to ask...

Thanks for your kind words, Matt…most of my pictures from photobucket will enlarge if clicked upon, but I seldom do close-up photos unless I’m trying to show very small details, like this undersized rail joiner that required me to use a cut-off disc to narrow the base of the rail, then also remove material from the bottom of the rail, in order to slide the joiner into place…

…to take the photo, I simply held a loupe over the camera’s lense, which enlarged the joiner enough to at least be noticed.

I did one with an airbrush which turned out great but I didn’t like all the clean up work on the airbrush so stuck with rattle cans for flats.

Just use rattle cans. I painted this with rattle cans. Primed with Tamiya “Fine Surface Primer” and black is Tru-Color “Weathered Black” TCP-4013…
