Sheepscot Autocar C-90 for the A&S Railroad.

I gave the grille a couple of coats of the Detailer to bring out the depth of the grill.

In the same photo you can see I've added silver to the windows. My technique for doing the solid cabs is to do a dry-brush of silver over the grimy black in kind of a quick stabbing motion. The idea is to give a silver sheen to the black. I went a little heavy on this cab but it still looks good. This was something that got cut out of the final cut of the video Idid for B.E.S.T. Trains.

Grimy Black was also used on the tires. The raised edge of the wheel helps to keep the paint where it needs to be, but I have to keep touching the edge up as I bounce back and forth between colors.

That's it for now, Decaling and assembly are next.

Very nice work!  I'm enjoying the thread and leaning a thing or two in the process.  Thanks for sharing this.

Raymo,

It is looking fantastic. I forgot about the trucks you are doing, great tips as well. Thanks.

I'll simply parrot what everyone else has said Dan.  Looks great and thanks for the tips.  I need to watch that DVD again (once I find out where it is and get it back) and order me some vehicles.

Cool.     Cuse wanted to watch it too.  I don't know if it's made it's way around to him yet.  If it hasn't, and he stops by, let him have it.  I do want to place an order for some vehicles from Sylvan and/or Sheepscot one of these days.  Let me know if you're interested in anything and we'll place a joint order.

Thanks John. That's the reason we do these threads, to help other with their builds.

Thanks Tom. I hope you or someone else in Central Florida enjoys it.

Thanks Bob. Hopefully the build will overlap what got cut out of the video.
