BKTY 153277 All Finished Up

Well, after close to 3 weeks of chipping away at boxcar BKTY 153277, I'm calling this one done.  Mostly done few minutes at a time here and there.

Anyway, here's my finished boxcar in few locations around the layout:

Since last time, I dirtied up the doors with PanPastel Burnt Umber, and sprayed a few really light coats of Roof Brown along the boxcars' lower areas.

Same side, different angle.

The other side received the same treatment with the Pan Pastel Burnt Umber on the door, and the Roof Brown spray.  I find that brown works really well to flatten down bright colours.

I painted all 4 tack boards with an aged wood colour, then added a really light touch of thinned Dark Gray Vallejo wash.

I had mentioned before about painting sealant on to the panel seams on the roof, so here's how that turned out.  I used Primer Grey and a 0000 brush, also adding sealant above the door.  And a light touch of the Pan Pastel onto the panels, which I had already painted with Vallejo Rust Texture.

I'll close this out now with a look at the B-end of the boxcar.  Those reporting marks at the top were time-consuming decaling work.  10 individual decals on each end.  Cutting out 20 letters and numbers which I could barely see was tricky, and then getting them to settle straight on the model was touchy too.  Never had to get any stitches in my fingers though, so that's a win.

That's it.  On to the next project, whatever that might be.  Have a good week, and thanks for looking in.
