Great kit. Boy howdy did I have a good time building this one. A touch up or 2 I see but I am calling it done. If you've got this kit on your shelf... pull it down and get started, you'll love it. Now to choose the last "start" for the year.

Marc,
She's a beaut! You've really made an appealing model. Your marbled Grays are nice to look at and you've highlighted the details very nicely.

Very glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks Gaz. I probably would never have bought this kit but I'm glad I got to build this.

Marc,

Superb! I am not usually a fan of pre-shading but your mottling undercoat - that looks real! I will try that.

Thanks Brent.

Seeing that you're on the RR side of this hobby I think that process, which has been given and unofficial name of black basing, would work very well with the broad areas on a boxcar . And thanks for the compliments.
