    Hey, thanks. I took a lot of liberties, and the graf was uninspiring, so I left it off.:shade:

    Stay cool and drop features...:shade::shade:

    tom, you're having too much fun. i think you should try weathering a locomotive, a few buildings, some track, and ... ah ... a layout. yeah, that's the ticket!!

    Excellent work Tom. The rust looks so real I can just imagine the thin spots in some areas.

    Why don't you send some over to Jürg so that we can se how it looks on his dioramas :)

    BTW: I do believe the Liberty coin must be a fake. And this is really O scale. ;)

    Hi Tom,

    :thumbs_up::thumbs_up::thumbs_up: It's the best weathering I ever saw! Can you tell us something about the techniques you used? Or even better a How To?

    Your work with weathering never ceases to amaze me. I can't wait to read that article in Ztrack!

    Why in the hell do I spend so much time making sure the paint scheme's are flawless if you're going to mess them up!! :eek:)


    Great work anyway...I have to admit you're taking this to a whole new level. What makes your work so great is that it forces the rest of us with an ego to push the limits of our work as well!

    Great Job
