Looks really fantastic, Schraddel! A friend of mine used to do custom painting before he went to work for Athearn. Now he no longer does any modeling on his won time because he gets all of the modeling he wants to do working on prototypes for new products from Athearn.
One of his chief complaints with imported brass (the most common models he painted for people) was that so many of the solder joints were cold soldered and the parts fell off when he took the model out of the box. Whenever he did a custom paint job on a brass model, he started by soldering all of the details back on the model!
