Kitbashing a doodlebug

[cnrglen]

Thanks guys. I hope to have the 'bug' rolling on the rails soon.
I took a deep breath and fired up my new airbrush today (a P acshe model H)


I used Scalecoat CPR Tuscan red. Since I was going to spray the doodlebug I decided to get a few other cars ready for paint at the same time. There's a Rivarossi Pullman, and Athearn baggage, clerestory roof coach and a round roof coach. I also had enough paint to spray an Athrean RPO that's not in the picture.


I was pretty happy with how the paint turned out. Not having sprayed Scalecoat in almost 15 years sent me back on a learning curve. on my first car I hadn't thinned it enough and it spattered pretty bad but after thinning and re-spraying the car it looked better. The other thing I remembered was that it dries somewhat glossy so it shows all the mistakes that a dull finish would hide.

The color is a bit less burgundy in person, I think my camera is playing a trick on it.
