Follow-Up To Last Week

Went to the train show in Woodstock last Sunday, driving an hour and a half through rain.  The admission price was still $5. But I was pretty surprised to see the first 2 rooms were full of Pokemon cards vendors, so just the main room had model train sale tables.  Oh well, I did come away with these couple of freight cars:

The WC Branchline kit and an ExactRail waffle boxcar both looked like they had never been out of their boxes until now.

Drove through the rain all the way home too.

Now, here's some follow-up views of the MTW boxcar I'd shown last time.
After the fading of the original green colour last week, I masked most of the boxcar and sprayed a primer colour along the bottom area of the door.

So here's that, along with some of the primer freehanded on one of the horizontal seams of the door and a bit on the lower door track.  Can't really see it well here, but the roof has been painted with Rust Texture.

This is actually the other side of the boxcar with some graffiti decals added, as well as rust spots and streaks.  It still needs some finishing up that I've not gotten too yet.

A better look at the roof.  I think I'll be adding some sealant to the panel seams as well

That'll do for this week.

Go Blue Jays !
