Title: New Haven 36’ boxcar

Funaro flat kit.  Used Microscale NH decals and others to get the right dimensions.

Well done.  The modeling and weathering are outstanding.

Howdy Charile,

The weathering on the model is outstanding.  It is subtle yet realistic. 

Have fun,
mike

I'm a fan of 36-foot standard gauge wooden boxcars.  Something about the proportions...   Love the steel roof, roofwalks, and doors on this one.  The contrast makes my eye wander, and wonder.

Well-executed and charismatic model.

Those aren't easy kits to build and you did a good job on it.

Nice boxcar.  How did you weather it?

Mostly with colored pencils, browns, grays, white.  Also oil paint pin washes around a few details. Base paint is TruColor lightened with ART yellow.
