I finally finished this kit from Aru model. Base paint and lights are done. I just need to paint the driver and to weather the locomotive.

Your paint job is almost too good

Hi PBY,

Your paint job is almost too good to weather. What you have achieved is a very good fresh-from-the-factory paint job. It would almost be a shame to start up the motor and burn the paint off the exhaust

Well, in reality it isn't as good as it look. The finish was mostly correct (I struggle with the airbrush), but the coverage isn't uniform. Fortunately, I used a white primer, therefore the yellow is just lighter in some place.

I added the driver

Like the lights, the driver was modeled in 3D and then printed by Shapeway. Oil paints make the coloring quite easy. The level of details with the FUD material is a lot better than any figurine I have, and I was able to choose the exact pose to fit the locomotive.
