Ok guys. Time for a little cratique, advice, and direction if you would be so kind. Working the orange fade and a bit of the grime along the walkways. The grime carried to high up the car body. I need to get a smaller dry brush to keep this from happening again. Sorry for the lighting, but it is dark outside and will be snowing all weekend. I'll be able to get cloud cover filtered lighting on it tomorrow if y'all think it will be better. So in this first photo is the pastels applied to the model before sealing with Dull Coat. The following photo is after applying the Dull Coat. So... I'm thinking I may need to add more pastels for the more pronounced fade on the orange. The Dull Coat appears to just about neutralized the white pastels. I also started the sanding process on the fuel tank: I appreciate your critique and advice. Thanks for looking. Build Album

Hey Bob, nice work. I think it's more difficult to get a blue box to look the way you want it now that I've bashed other brands. Pics with progress like these inspire me a lot.

Thanks for the nice comment, Dan. It's a lot of fun to make an old BB into something more. Back in the day, it was exciting just to have a near scale width hood on an Athearn!

I think your colors look close to the prototype photo and once you finish the handrails, lights and such, you'll be there.
