Also if you've followed my build threads you know I like Tru Color paint. For this build the cab is painted with Psg. Car interior Cream, The wheels are painted Swift Reefer Red and the frame Black.

Looking very nice Dan !!
Just wondering whether you use an airbrush or paint brush for the Tru Color paint on these??
All the best,
--Paul

Yes Paul, I'll use the airbrush as much as possible when using the Tru-Color paint.

Dustin and Mark, Thanks for the reply's. I know Reading Bob and Greg D also replied, but their comments got lost in the reboot, so Thank You to you guys as well.

So here I am posting this comment for the 3rd time because of the forum reboots. As mentioned above, a few comments and these photos disappeared. I painted the headlights, fenders and running boards semi-gloss black.  The mirror was painted black also. The grille, headlight faces,and chrome trim was painted bright silver. After that dried, I painted the bowties and emblem on grille, Conrail Blue. I added decals I had made a few years back to the doors.

I should add that I used the Detailer to finish off the grille.

A little back story to the Star Brick Co.. This was one of many brick companies in the Exeter/ Epping N.H. area in the early 20th century. Star Brick was located on the B&M Manchester/Portsmouth branch and after WW2 the property became a racetrack where even today, the property is loaded with bricks.

Raymo,

Uh, do you want me to start on missing thread information? Not sure anyone wants me to say what I really feel.

No one took more of a hit more than you Tom, but it was a little bit frustrating to have posts disappear seconds after they were posted.

Hope the thread helps.

This build is looking great.  I have been collecting vehicle kits as I find them and plan on using your build threads to build them up right. Please keep sharing your work with us - it is a great reference.  I have never seen anyone do a better job on their vehicle models. I have started a Raymo backup directory  .

Getting back on track after the big snowstorm here in the northeast, I added Gallery Glass to the front and rear windows.
