WC Boxcars

Karl where did you get the body for this car.

[Karl]

I got the car from NAFTA models. This was a test print. The final versions of the kits will include detail parts, wheels, trucks, couplers, decals, and even a bottle of TruColor Paint.

I got my Kaslo BC Rail boxcar kits together and painted. Now they are ready for decaling.

[Allen]

You're a machine Karl!!!

[Michael Whiteman]

Looks real good

[Karl]

I forgot to update this with pics of the good BC Rail cars. Today I salvaged the one that went wrong. I didn’t get all the mold release washed off one and it reacted with the primer. Huge mess. It didn’t turn out perfect, but it will work

[Allen]

Doesn't look perfect? Looks damn good to me Karl.
I see a slight sag and some of the door hardware looks a little wonky on the top of the left door, but what I see overall is damage and wear and tear.

[Karl]

Allen the door hardware being off was all me. The sides of this car looked like the surface of the moon after primer. I had already detailed it, so I had to carefully hand sand it as smooth as I could. Some of the imperfections were still visible after paint. Somehow, when I shot the dullcoat, they seemed to have disappeared. I’ll take being lucky for $100 Alex

[Karl]

I finally finished painting and weathering the ex-Soo 40’ers. This was a bugger. I matched the prototype patching, which was different on every car and used three different fonts for the road numbers. I’ll post a little more about these in the layout thread.

[Allen]

Very nice Karl! 
@Greg should be drooling about now?

I like 'em! Well done, Karl. Each has a personality.
