Sylvan 22’ Yellow Freight trailer

[cduckworth]

This was to be a quick build.  Built the body and floor; sprayed Tamiya Fine pink primer (works great with yellow).  TruColor C&O yellow with a hint of orange added.  Masked off the roof and sprayed with MM Aluminum.  Putting the lid back on the bottle of aluminum I didn't notice I had paint on my fingers and transferred to the yellow body. Got off as much as I could with thinner and sprayed the yellow over the aluminum.  Once dry coat of gloss and decals added. 
Just normal modeling drama.  Here's the trailer at the JC transfer company

Nice work Charlie! Is that master modeler silver? Looks perfect as most I've bought lately is metal flake silver.

That came out nicely.  I need a few trailers of that size and vintage; checked the Sylvan booth at the Big E this year, but they hadn't brought any.  Guess it's mail-order time.

Ahh yes, the ol' paint on the fingers trick.
It's even more fun with a brand new shirt on, and your navel itches.

They look great, Charlie.

Yes, old bottle I had around.

My wife "don't you have any blue jeans without paint on them?"

Charlie,

Very nicely done on the trailers. I have a dedicated set of jeans, shorts and t-shirts I have to wear while working on the layout and models.

I have my orders you know.

Hello Charlie, great job on the trailers. I especially like the decal graphics.

The small resin kit comes with some great decals.  The other was a Micro Metal 'OOB' trailer and cab.

Nicely done.  Sylvan makes nice models. 

First meal with a new shirt usually ends up with something on it.   

What is the era of that Yellow Transit scheme?

For me, it's "the chance of spilling something rises exponentially when wearing a white t-shirt."

Great work on the trailers.  Yellow and silver are tough colors to get "right".

I just found the silver Sharpie marker's do a fine job.
