Good evening all,
Finally got around to applying the first colour coat to another round of boxcars. I'm using ProtoPaints...gotta say...I'm not impressed. They are pretty finicky and clog the airbrush pretty fast. I've tried distilled water which makes them too "watery" and tonight I tried some reducer which didn't seem to help at all either. Somehow I muddled through and managed to get some paint on... constantly stopping to clean the airbrush was a pain. Gotta figure something else out.
Also managed to get the first coat of black primer on my tank cars. The tanks are very delicate once assembled so attention to hand placement is required when turning or flipping them over. Basically I applied the primer to the topside surfaces...waited 24 hours then primed the undercarriage. Anywho...That's all for tonight.
