Thank you guys!
Ron, it is always a battle hiding the decal edges. Sometimes it doesn’t happen…lol

Very nice work. Can you tell us more about the paints you used, and how you got the decals to look so good?

Thanks again, guys!
As far as the materials used, I used rattlecan paint by Tru-Color boxcar red and some Scalecoat II boxcar red #3.
The Union Pacific car was decaled using a Highball Graphics set. Extremely nice decals, but a bit tricky to work with.
The other three cars were done using K-4 decals. They are nice decals and easy to work with. They sell many different sets in all scales…

Another car I painted and decaled. It is a MTH 19th century car I stripped and detailed before painting. I am usually not a big fan of billboard cars, but this one was drab enough for my liking. This car was painted with Tamiya dark green paint and lettered with a K-4 decal set…     Tom |

Please share your process / secrets. Maybe a video too. vr Ron

So where is the order form for one of those wood side reefers? I can't seem to find it!
