These cars just look amazing.. Great job on them all... I do have a question about those flats with military loads on them... what make are those cars?
The red DODX flatcars are plain Accurail TOFC models that I modified with a homemade upper deck. The yellow ITTX flatcar is a Walthers with the same treatment.
Two Questions. First, did you hand paint most of that graffiti, or were they Decals? And second, have you thought about posting some how-to videos? I know a whole lot of people would love to hear some tips and tricks that you use. Amazing work.
The picturesque graffiti generally starts as custom decals that I made from pics of the real thing. I will sometimes blend it or do touch-ups with paint.
I won't be posting How To videos on YouTube. Sorry. You'll have to wait for a book or a DVD sometime in the future.
Not unless someone who currently owns a few of them decides to run them on a layout. I never have more than one of these at any given time - so I can't do it.
Also, I have no layout, nor do I belong to a club. So, even if for some unexplained reason I kept a few on hand, I couldn't film any in motion.
As I complete them, they are listed on eBay. Unfortunately, there is no set schedule for when anything appears.
Regarding suggestions - I mostly focus on Western equipment - and prototypes that I come in contact with personally. This is not to say that something out of the ordinary won't pop up from time to time.
I'm not on YouTube as a means to get people to buy my work. I only mentioned what happens to the items so that I don't get offers or requests on here.
