Finished….!

 Here is the first Rapido Berlin Mills boxcar I’ve finished for the layout. This model is really a very nice detailed model, a job well done imo from Rapido. These cars were purchased from Otter Valley in Ontario.

The car was faded a bit with white acrylic. Other acrylics were used as well, especially on the underside of the car, along with rust texture on the car sides and rust pigment. The roof was done with two different types of rust texture with pigments over top. The trucks even have a rust texture on them as well covered with track rust by MiG Ammo. Photos below of the finished car:

Next car up…..

 Next car up in this batch of commission work is this Walther’s CSX autorack. This car was finished using acrylics, a brown wash, rust texture, and powders to achieve a look similar to the prototype SP car shown. I think this one turned out pretty well!
