Berlin Mills Boxcar 2nd Side

The weathering on the (Rapido) Berlin Mills boxcar is complete, so here's a few looks at the 2nd side, and a couple of views of it out in the wilds of the layout.

Just a refresher photo of what the boxcar looks like straight from the box.

A really nice shade of green. 

Portrait style picture of the 2nd side to start with:

This is how things are looking now.

And so out on the layout

Set out on the lead into the paper recycler which is to the right but just out of the photo.

Same location, different angle.  Looking at the roof in this one, I brushed on 4 layers of Vallejo Rust Texture to cover the silver roof.  But I'm still deciding on whether or not to paint on some grey sealant across the roof panel joints.

The weathering makes the Berlin Mills car blend right in in this short train.

 

This is actually the same side as we were looking at last week, but I just liked the picture so I thought I'd pop it in here too.

So that's it for now.  Have a good week everybody.
