N scale "What's on your workbench?"

I Just finished a Republic Locomotive works Wood Chip Bin... my first attempt at a laser cut wood kit... I Like the end result but the legs were a PITA...:frustrated:



I also beat up an old Bachmann 40' Gon...

 

HI this a sd40-2 snoot cab 3452 that i am doing. I put one coat of ceramcoat gloss on to seal the main decals. I have more decals to ad and i just painted the unibrow and letting it dry so i can seal it. the engine will have ditch lights on the pilot when get the decoder for the engine. comments, what do you think of it so far.

 

First MP15AC casting was painted today. I love Tru-Color paint as it dries so fast. This unit was undec this morning !

 

Carved one out of a piece of styrene. Not the best but it will do.

 

Very very nice ,Bill. And I'll second your comment on Tru-Color paints. With the demise of PolyScale, it's my new favorite.

thank you and yes I have the right a/c to go on the roof.

 

Looks great! What did you use to fade the green paint?

 

It certainly does! Looks very nice. I will revisit some of mine.

 

It was actually kind of an accident really... I have been experimenting with a product called tamiya weathering master along with various thin washes of water based acyrlics... I wasn't liking the results so I used some alcohol on a clean brush to tame it down a bit... unfortunately (or fortunately depend on your point of view) I accidentally used 99% instead of 50% alcohol and started removing the cars factory paint....:wideeyes:

 

I decided to dirty up some more of my fleet too; washes and chalks and crayons. Nothing elaborate, quick and dirty, have several hundred of these to do. Kind of fun to do...

Those look nice! especially liking the open load.

 

Tomix roundhouse. I’m taking pictures as I go. If it turns out well, I’ll post a thread on this.

 

Thanks Cedar, I have tons more to do.
Steve, looks like a nice project. I see you plugged the holes in the low roof and will presumably put the stack vents in the back part of the roundhouse, where they belong on a typical US style house. Have fun!

Yup, that's the idea. I'm also adding clerestory windows, a boiler house, and a few other changes.
