Matt, Once Gats finishes my custom paint job you will get the first pic. I should have realised that telling Gats that custom painting was a real chick magnet would get him started immediately actually I think he is buying the paint as I'm writing this. stay tuned this colud be the start of a beautiful romance. ------------------ http://members.optusnet.com.au/~pcassar/index
a good paint job would be fine on the right loco as kato hasn't done the correct phase 2 model yet. look at the rad. grilles on the picture. i thought about doing one myself but will wait until kato does the next version in the spring.
Thanks for saving my 'bacon'! Really, the radiators are a simple fix compared to doing the scheme correctly. I took the time to look at the BLW site and I wasn't impressed with the UP loco - not even close. Those camoflage 'splotches' are far too big. and to be incorrect for near US$200?... yeah, right... Of course, this is just my opinion Gary. ------------------ Gary A. Rose The Unofficial TC&W page N to the Nth degree!
Custom body painting a chick magnet? You bet! Chick's body painting is great relaxation - and you don't have to mask the pointy bits ------------------ Gary A. Rose The Unofficial TC&W page N to the Nth degree!
Hey gats, I agree with you on both subjects. The brown shapes are WAY to big and yes, painting is a chick magnet! :-D Craig Martyn. .BLMA (best looking models around)

Hey Clolonel, what't the status of this unit? Is it going to be done? Any pics? ------------------ Craig Martyn BLMA(best looking models around) Custom painting and detailing
Well I haven't seen Gats in the past wek or so but he hasn't said NO yet so i'm still in with a chance I'm keeping my fingers crossed ------------------ http://members.optusnet.com.au/~pcassar/index
I have no idea why I'm digging this one up, but did this loco ever get done??? I think I finished mine shortly after this thread started and died some 9 years ago. Glad to see the archives work... Union Pacific SD40-2 Road # 3493 Brian
I forgot to mention that I cheated on the brown blobs. Microscale did the decals for the camo which made things a lot easier. This thread is older than my membership to the board... Brian
Nice Job Brian on both the Paint job and the detailing.:thumbs_up::thumbs_up: And of course Thank You for your Service Glen
here are some pics of mine not to hijack the topic or your posts brian, this is probably the hardest one i have ever done, i chose to hand paint the camo on mine as the decal sets were flaking real bad. Brain did you sell all the trainworx and bluford 85' boxcars on ebay?
No worries, I hijacked it from Colonel.... Nice job painting the blobs on. So far, the decals have held up over 8 years. Nope, still have some Bluford cars left. I had one coupler break on me, but I've got a few more left still. Thanks for the compliment on the website jpwisc. It's a work in progress. Brian
