Model Railroading > Kitbashed Phase III RS3 finished

Continuing from my last post, http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?3,4068216  here is my Phase III RS3 after I painted it.  I like to spray acrylic paint, and with Polly Scale no longer available, I tried using some Model Master acrylic paint.  In place of the CNW Green, I used Model Master Euro Green I, darkened with a little bit of black.  The yellow and weathering colors are all Polly Scale.  The Model Master airbrushed on very nice, in my opinion better than Polly Scale CNW Green.  I plan to use more Model Master acrylic paint in the future.

The first picture shows the disassembled parts attached to the painting fixtures.

Stunning work again Dennis.

Great work Dennis!

It turned out really good, especially those footboards. They really pop once painted. Also, nice attention to detail on mimicing the disturbed grime behind the grabirons on long hood. Small details like that are often left out.

Beautiful work !!!

Your weathering alone is outstanding, but I especially like the "signs of life" you add, from the unit being used after it was dirty.  The effects of the grime that was taken off through human contact near the grabs and adjacent to the walkway leading up to the cab are really impressive.  I also really like the way you weathered the exhaust stack to show signs of heat.  Absolutely beautiful work in every respect Dennis.

The rubbed off dirt is very easy to do using the eraser on the end of a pencil.  I correspond with a retired C&NW engineer that used to run the Alcos.  He said they were worn out, dirty and stinky and ran way past their useful life.

Outstanding Modeling!!!

Some very well done modelling, painting, and weathering you've accomplished here. Some nice subtle touches too, as Joe mentioned, with the exhaust stack and the worn-off grime. I also notice the shiny end on the couplers.

Excellent work! I like the uniform sheen on the model even thru the multiple colors. Clean crisp modeling.

The Model Master paint is made for the Aircraft and Military modelers. They are very, very picky about their paint!
