CP 200143 boxcar

[Deleted]

here's the start of getting back on the horse basic CP red Boxcar that'll get a terra cotta Acrylics fade and light weathering.

here is the clear I use it's from walmart and I decant it into a jar so I can use my spray gun to get an even coverage this is also a non yellowing matte clear .

and here is the victim after a couple of light coatings was fairly shiny to start opened up the blind to get some real sunlight on it

and here's one of 2 doors

and gave the underframe a base coat of clear to tone it down a little weathering on the entire car  has begun but those pics will come later.

forgot the truck pics but will show next update as they really flattened out after spraying Enjoy I am

Happy Holiday's

This car will get a light weathering few scrapes from the door.

As i can't find a photo of this car photo i have found a few sister cars that show a few things wrong between model and prototype.

As you look at it from the left should be 2 grabs on the side with the ladder on the right.

The roof should also be CP red.

Came with roller bearing trucks needs to be friction bearing for my 1979 era.

Biggest drawback is being on disability income not a lot i can buy for my builds.

Thanks for stopping by.

changed out the roller bearing trucks for friction bearing trucks used hobby lobby terra cotta acrylic with a few other colors.

this car should fit right in with my 1979 era

happy holiday's Y'all

Couple drawbacks on this car the roof should be red also.

And the ladders on the side in the pacman logo should actually be 2 grab iron rungs.
