Does anyone know where I can find an n-scale etched metal painting mask for curlicues and flourishes — the kind of victorian pin-striping that was painted on passenger trains to “gussy-up” the exterior? (photo reference attached) ...I haven’t been able to locate decals and thought I might have better luck with paint.
You might take a look at circus decals for some fancy stuff, (along with striping from Micro Scale). There is a company that has some gold decals and sells on ebay, like these- http://www.ebay.com/itm/GS100-Metal...cals-N-Scale-Cole-Bros-Ringling-/192152088442 I have no first hand experience with their decals, but there are some interesting filigree bits that you might be able to use.
