Hello everyone! For my graduation present a family member got me this…
[
An O-27 polar express berk. And seeing as I have a love of the Pere Marquette 1225 I decided to instead of paying thousands for a model id be to afraid to pick up I decided to make this into a more accurate version.
First came to removing the polar express livery with nail polish remover.
Then I spray painted the shell after removing the handrails and pilot. [IMG]http://i1263.photobucket.com/albums/ii631/T4
Nice work!
Nicely done. There are more than a few folks, I’m sure, who would be interested in seeing a complete article on your re-paint.
Oh, and congratulations on your graduation.
Well done, you got something you wanted at a reasonable price.
Fantastic! The simple work is often the best work! Well done!
Hello everyone! After some time having the model on my carpet layout I’ve decided to give the model a more permanent home
It now resides at the steam railroading institute home of the real 1225
I’m sure the model will receive more use there than I have for it. But I was struck with a bit of inspiration on the way home after visiting my local hobby shop so stay tuned…
