where did you get the graffiti from

[ScaleModelMedic]

@Traintronxes If I remember right mate I stuck "graffiti alphabet" into google image search and then edited the letters together to form the actual tag. The colour scheme was just something I put together myself on photoshop using the gradient tool to figure out what I wanted it to look like. Theres tons of stuff on google images to use for inspiration too.

Ah, excellent job, pal.

One thing to think about when you do the next boxcar. Don't be afraid to heavily weather the roof of the boxcar. Any boxcar. If the sides are rusty, streaky, brown, then the roof will sure be heavily beaten with dirt, rust, grime, smoke etc
