Building An HO Scale ALCO RS27 Part 1 | Repaint And Decals

[@zephyrboy2012]

Wow! Amazing work! You have the hands of a surgeon.

[@michaelmorgan7893]

After BNSF ruined the Santa Fe with orange and dark green, I never thought I'd like orange on anything other than refrigerator cars. But I'm growing quite an affection to the G&W "Reese's Cups" scheme. Looks great.

You, sir, are a patient ‘surgeon.’ Greatly appreciate your skill set!

[@animalyze7120]

Great work! It just takes patience and basic tools. Proof is in the pudding, If you do the job carefully you can make everything look great!

[@6axlepwr]

Very nice and a very nice presentation. One suggestion. Get yourself a toothpick. Chisel one and and sharpen the other. Burnish both ends and use it to burnish your tape down.

[@StationRailfan]

Wow, an absolutely incredible build. Great job!

Looks incredible I want to model FCRD but finding a GP16 model that I could live with modifying is hard lol.

[@sonomacustommodels]

Especially the unit with the funky 3 window windshield. Probably a GP10 with quite a few mods is the closest you are going to get. Lots of FCRD modelers out there!

[@aibanes1]

Great work, how much does it cost to customize a model and how long do you take to customize it?

[@RonStanek]

I've been wondering what people used to stripe paint off plastic models with. That doesn't harm the plastic. Also if it would be the same for brass? Or if there is another, more effective and safer solution 🤔?

[@sonomacustommodels]

91% percent shouldn't harm the plastic. For brass there are several options. Sandblasting is a great method (for plastic as well) and is pretty much required to get paint to stick to brass. There are several paint removers out there that work as well but they come in and out of stock.

[@TolgaEastCoast]

Very nice. How much thinner do you use, and I take it it goes great with tru-color?

[@sonomacustommodels]

It depends on how heavy the pigment is but with Tru-Color, more thinner is better. Skim milk or 60/40 are ratios that I've heard the majority of users describe. I'd check out Barbados Rex for some good paint tutorials too.

[@Steveshappylittletrees]

How much Valium does it take to make one of those?

[@HiramGutierrez-n7r]

It looks like the Chiapas mayab railroad by genesi Wyoming

[@rjcottrill1953]
