Building the train & Delorean model (Part 2)

Make sure you watch Part 3!

Here's a pretty in-depth video on how I made my Back to the Future 3 model locomotive and rail road delorean.

Follow the steps shown in tho move to create your own model of the train and delorean like I did, it's not that hard and can be done for under $100. It took me 3 days, well pretty much all weekend, to build my model.

I'll provide you with as much as I can give you, anything from links, to the custom decals for the train that I made. Message me if you have any questions, I will not respond to comments, and NO I AM NOT SELLING MY MODEL, the propose of this video is for you to make your own.

STEP 1: Buy the base model, I recommend ebay because that's where I aught all 3 of mine.

Don't forget it can be any color, it doesn't matter because you're going to paint it anyways.

If your having trouble finding a model to buy, try searching for things like: 4-6-0, ten wheeler, Tyco, or Mantua. Just make sure you get a train that's in "HO" scale.

STEP 2: Once you receive your train it's time to look for supplies. The supplies you will need are:

* Gloss Black Spray Paint (any brand).
* Flat Black Enamel Model Paint.
* Small flat headed screw driver.
* Small paint brush.
* Sticker/Label printer paper (decals).
* Roll of tape, preferably not plastic.
* Large paper/news paper for painting surface.

All that should be pretty cheap if you don't already have at least half of it.

STEP 3: Dissect the locomotive. Take everything off and out of the train, keep note of where everything went and don't loose any screws. take it completely apart until you only have the plastic chassis.

STEP 4: cover up the areas on the chassis that you don't want to paint with tape, I show you where to put the tape in the video.

STEP 5: take it out and pray it down with the Gloss Black spray paint. Don't forget the cab and the tender.

STEP 6: after it dries completely and isn't sticky, take it in and hand pain the parts with tape on them with the Flat Black model paint. Paint the cow catcher and anything else that needs to be painted as well.

STEP 7: put back on the bell, smoke stack, and side railing on the locomotive chassis, carefully hand paint them all the Flat Black color as well.

STEP 8: after you've painted everything and it's all dried, re-assemble the locomotive completely and make sure you do it right. After that take the sticker/label printer paper and print out the decals, I have taken the liberty of making them for you so all you have to do is print them, cut them out, and apply them to the locomotive in the right spots.

The Decals can be found here, check the video to see where they go:

Once you put the decals on the locomotive your pretty much finished, feel free to do any touch up work you want. Also post a video response of your finished product! I would love to see it!

how much white do you add to the enamel flat black?

[DafAnimationStudios]

@pennyf9 I don't know the exact amount or anything but just enough to lighten it up a little so it looks distinguishable from the gloss black spray paint.

[StudiosGunslinger]

From my own personal experience, usually it's a good idea to not paint parts that are to be colored differently. In other words I wouldn't paint flat plack over top of gloss black.

But to each their own, it's looking good though!
