Representing Brake Gear - More Art Than Science

[iandrewmartin]

I thought I’d share more work done weathering the Southern Boxcar underframe and sides. It’s interesting to see how the added brake gear has become just another part of the model, and no longer seems to dominate the underframe, just as I had hoped it would.



The underframe weathering is what I consider to be just right (considering that it will be hard to see). I had to add a bright white background behind the model for it to show up. Very pleased with how this work has come out. It looks perfectly functional, and most importantly, looks the business.
