A good-looking block of mud Paul, do you copy pictures of actual cars, to get the weathering to look so realistic?
Alan, I only use photos when I want to weather more detail, but I do this only for HO or O scale. For G scale it is to much time consuming for me. Here some phot pages that could be interesting for weathering purposes. http://www.pbase.com/fjcaron/121402&page=1
As always, a thing of beauty. A person never realizes just how "odd" these cars look when they come straight out of the box until we see some of your fine work. Hope you keep us all up to date on your projects. Cheers
