Sorry Jay. It originally was the right size, but I changed the picture on my website to be full resolution, and I forgot it was linked here. I'll fix it right now. ;D

looks great, not sure if is the photo or not, but it looks like the trucks need one more dusting of road grime.

I was never really happy with this weathering job... luckily, I never actually sealed it with dullcote, so I was able to go back today and take some of it off with cotton swabs and 91% alcohol. I then re-weathered the engine with powders, trying to cover up whatever was left of the first attempt. I think it looks better... not perfect, but better. It's also less influenced by the prototype picture, but I'm okay with that.  |
