My Texas Special - First stage

This is my first crack at a texas special - I started with a unpainted shell, painted the white first, then painted the red over stencils cut on my vinyl plotter.

The red is a little too red and needs more orange tint but otherwise i am happy with my first crack at the paint part.

I am still working on the decals that will say “built by lionel” “the texas special” and the one for the front that is the mkt.

I have a few more pictures with the decals for built by lionel and the texas special on - the bottom shell is the original and the top is my newly painted shell.
