Model Railroading > Conrail Auto Parts Boxcar (Tangent)Date: 08/06/22 10:15 Conrail Auto Parts Boxcar (Tangent) Author: Jimmies Tangent 8 door auto parts boxcar. About 9 - 10 hours actually working away at it, plus drying time in between layers of weathering, so just over a week altogether from beginning to end.

all I can say, glorious weathering Date: 08/06/22 11:47 Re: Conrail Auto Parts Boxcar (Tangent) Author: bnsfmodeler Very nice how did you lighten the brown
Dave Date: 08/06/22 11:53 Re: Conrail Auto Parts Boxcar (Tangent) Author: tomstp VERY nice.
Date: 08/06/22 12:26 Re: Conrail Auto Parts Boxcar (Tangent) Author: railstiesballast Very convincing, did you have prototype photos or is this created out of typical weathering patterns you see or have photos of?
In particular I see what looks like a new brake wheel gear housing on the B end. Did your prototype have that? Date: 08/06/22 12:33 Re: Conrail Auto Parts Boxcar (Tangent) Author: SeaboardMan You are an artist.
john Date: 08/06/22 12:44 Re: Conrail Auto Parts Boxcar (Tangent) Author: wheel_slip This is fantastic.... The rust effects are spot on
Andy Date: 08/06/22 13:06 Re: Conrail Auto Parts Boxcar (Tangent) Author: Jimmies Thanks for looking and commenting. As to your quetions, prototype photo from rrpicturearchives for one side, a bit more generic for the 2nd side as I had a harder time finding photos of similar cars in the same number range. As for the brake wheel, it's what came on the model and I have no idea if it matches the prototype. It's a Tangent model, and they're really well done, so maybe. Honestly, it never occurred to me to be concerned about that.

Date: 08/06/22 14:32 Re: Conrail Auto Parts Boxcar (Tangent) Author: dmaffei Great work, what did you use for weathering? Oils? Rust effects? Thanks for sharing your work!

Have you been able to keep the taggers away from your custom SP and SSW 86-footers since you posted photos of your burned out filling station? :) Matthew Date: 08/06/22 15:12 Re: Conrail Auto Parts Boxcar (Tangent) Author: Jimmies Thanks Dave. To fade and flatten down the brown, I used FolkArt Terra Cotta, which is an acrylic craft type paint. I thin it right down with tap water, and run it through my airbrush, building it up in a number of light layers on the model. Yes, it takes a little while, but there's no rush and the results are much better than just recklessly slapping paint all over the thing as some do.

I think you just called me out, lol. Another great job. Now I want to see how you handle the road that's going in.... |
