    So I wanted to make a model of one of my favorite prototypes: the 60' Waffle Side Berwick in Milwaukee Road with Dracula Face Graffiti. Proto photo here:

    The AZL is not really close, but the correct car probably won't be released anytime soon. I lowered it and added new stirups using BLMA grabs (which got all bent up when I installed the underframe - I'll fix them up in the weathering phase).

    Artwork is my own...fonts are pretty close.

    Tom,
    maybe Mark4Design's 50' Waffle Box Car would be the better choice. What colour/paint have you used? Regarding MILW the colour selection and apperance is quiet confusing to me...

    I mixed my own paint using Polly Scale CNW Yellow, Earth, and Reefer White. I was not trying to match the paint of a new car.

    The artwork looks good, and I cant wait to see it weathered.

    No updates yet, I've been swamped working on projects both inside and outside the house!
