Maybe not to everyone's taste but I like them. 1st of coach’s are perfect, the looks like Gerry’s handy work 2nd set need the roof painted black with a spray can, very easily done. And also more importantly, a white stripe along the top of the coach as per the other 2. It can be painted but I prefer a a long white transfer of the appropriate thickness if one can be found, and you feel you have the skilll to apply one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 That's a very good way to get started, and inexpensive! The only thing I might suggest is put the white lin e on the vans and paint the roof black before doing the weathering.... in traffic, the white line often looked distinctly off-white / tannish due to weathering (brake dust).... Looking forward to seeing this project develop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
