MLS Car Shops - chapter 4 ?<br />
(Posted: 08 Jul 2003: 23:31:40)<br />
G'day all,<br />
Sorry, it's all my fault; I don't think that<br />
indicated towards the end of chapter 3.<br />
there will be a chapter on painting the flatcar as<br />
Both Shad and I thought that the flatcar article<br />
was getting too long and contained too many<br />
photos for a relatively easy<br />
project.<br />
I thought that the final painting chapter would be fairly short, but there are so many different<br />
methods<br />
of painting, including brushing, spraying on wood, metal, styrene etc, that it would be<br />
hard<br />
to cover all the possibilities in a short chapter.<br />
As<br />
everyone has their favorite method of painting models, I thought that I would describe how I<br />
paint my rolling stock.<br />
In the past I used to spray the wheels and<br />
axles with an airbrush, but wasn't too<br />
happy trying to remove the overspray<br />
from the wheel treads. Now it only takes a<br />
couple of minutes to paint 4 axles using a<br />
brush, with the wheel and axle chucked in<br />
a battery drill.<br />
Don't forget to add a little grease to the<br />
axle ends before the trucks are assembled.
