Railworks America

This one was fun, and now that I am getting the hang of it, it only took me 5 hours.



Up next is to make the hydra-cushion graphic, then I will hit the books and see if there were any rare single door 50' wagons that might look interesting.

When I am done re skinning all the base RWA models to SP then I will release them as a complete package. I also plan on doing a Cotton Belt set, as the are pretty much the same except for the font they used.

Very nice.
To release this all in one pack is a very good idea.

So you've gotten into the repaint thing really fast.
I think I know now who I can ask when the tome has come to learn to repaint myself.

Thanks.

The wife still insists that I am making them too red. She made quite a point of it from my books, and I will have to admit that she is correct.

The flatbed turns out will be the simplest to change, and I was almost done with it last night. Then I will have four left. I think I will start the NW2 next. There are two common schemes with the NW2. The Bloody Nose, and the Tiger Stripe. I need the later for my route in Niles Canyon, as they are using one there today.

Ugh...

OK, so with some help from Mike I found yet another Tuscan Red. This looks less red. Lets see if I can persuade PS to match it.

OK, so what do you think?



The wife says it could pass for "sun bleached"

That looks like it fits better than the other red. It does fit with the worn and bleached look.

I tend to get fed up trying to match colours perfectly and just spray dirt all over the place :)

After I posted that screenie I remembered some advice from one of my other threads where it was recomended that I add an adjustment layer with -25% brightness. I did this and it looks even better.

I am working on the Hyrda-Cushion decals now. Will have a new shot this weekend.

Here is an update. I am not happy with how the 'Hydra-Cushion' logo came out. Unless someone can throw some ideas at me, I will need to wait until I have a smooth side box car (something SP had tons of anyway) to do this.
