HubertB Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 Well, I think I can call the undercart done, painted, weathered and grimed... Not so with the main floor, where I stalled my painting efforts pending regluing some parts which had gone unglued, and replacing at least one part which has chosen to pursue her life with the carpet monster rather than staying with the rest of the family ... Using airbrushed MRP tire black, dope linen, red oxide primer, exhaust soot, plus some washes from AK, Mig and Tamiya, and finally some Molotov chrome, I think I pretty much nailed the look I wanted for the undercart, and feel pretty smug about it. Well, tell me what you think and if I can still do some things different. I'll let the pics speak for themselves. Hubert 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Hurbert The undercarriage assemblies look so good; weathering is neat, to the point, yet shows the effects of a working Tram. Sorry to read that one part left home and is gone for good. Is it going to be a difficult part to scratch out and replace?

No, the loss is more annoying than difficult to scratch a replacement … Hubert 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 The chassis is looking great and very realistic to my eye. What I can't spot on the pics, are oil residues, which can be seen on every rail bound vehicle. I often add them to mechanical parts with a gloss finish in contrast to the duller parts. The short wheelbase in relation to the long chassis looks interesting, clearly allowing to follow curved rails better.

The blue background and the iPhone picture don’t go well together to show the nuances I see IRL. Still, I will take your advice and make the oil grime more visible.
