RMweb Gold Scottish Modeller Posted May 30, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 30, 2010 Looking good . What gel pen do you use for the graffiti? I've had no success trying to find a white one. Sharpie markers work well for other colours -maybe with a blast of dullcoat to flat them down. For the tank cars, might be worth using enamels (I don't know what you usually use) as these can generally be removed if you're not happy. In my experience, once acrylic is on, its the very devil to shift... Hi Jon, White Gel Pens.... Are available but you need a specialist shop. I have a couple, bought I think, from either Millar Graphics on the Bridges in Edinburgh or a graphics shop on Hanover Street Edinburgh. 1 has no branding at all on it - I think it was part of a set that included white gold and silver. The other is a DecoColor Opaque White Extra Fine one. Both are suppossed to be 0.7mm Work great for outlining the graffitti and also good for signwriting on shop signage etc. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Gwinnett Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Cheers Phil. Wonder if they're open tomorrow- I might pop into town. Jon (absolutely knackered after corralling 14 kids at my wee lads 6th birthday party all pm!) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelmaker87 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Jon, Late to the party on this thread. I think you have done a grand job with your weathered stock, all your cars look good from what you have shown so far. Best of luck with the new layout as it gradually takes shape. Cheers, Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
