Hey Folks

Here's a recent shot of a project I've been working on a bit at a time over the last 5 years, now close to being finished.  It's a kitbashed model of a Burton Stock Car Co. Horse car from the 1890's.  

After recently completing assembly of the model I painted it, but the "orange" I chose turned out to be closer to a salmon color.  A few days ago I picked up a bottle of real orange paint at the craft store and then masked the trucks and letterboard of the model, then sprayed a glaze of the orange color (2 parts water, 1 part paint) over the model.  As I hoped it would, the paint shifted the color much closer to the orange I wanted and did not obscure the black lettering of the decal, already applied.

More weathering to follow.  There is currently a light application of some Umber-colored PanPastel on the car, which will be supplemented by other methods to give the car some more wear.
