If so, I either missed out, or forgot. Could you please remind us? Thanks. Country: USA | Posts: 3923 Hopeless Fireman Posted - 05/19/2020 :  4:02:58 PM     All I can do is agree with everyone else. Roland Country: USA | Posts: 1922 TRAINS1941 Engineer Premium Member Posted - 05/19/2020 :  7:10:31 PM     Frank I might even find time to work on this through the summer!! Mike, Greg, Bruce, Rich, Roland I can't thank you guys enough for following along. An giving me all those wonderful compliments! Carl to answer your question. I use blacken-it on them. After they dry I buff them with a dremel felt wheel. If there to small I just have a pad I cut in half an do them by hand. Next I paint them with a diluted Master Model acrylic paint thinned down. Then I just buff them down and keep repainting them until I get the color I want. Once again you guys are just the greatest!! Jerry "And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count.

Frank Country: USA | Posts: 5934 Rick Administrator Premium Member Posted - 05/20/2020 :  10:18:54 AM     Keep going Jerry.

"Holy sh*t, i just got kicked in the gozintas." "That woman just drove into a house! I don't think her gozintas are all there." Rick as always thanks for stopping by!!

However you didn't mention the "color' of this stuff: diluted Master Model acrylic paint thinned down Thanks again! Country: USA | Posts: 3923 TRAINS1941 Engineer Premium Member Posted - 05/20/2020 :  2:16:21 PM     Carl I use the Medium Green FS34102. An I make it really thin almost like a wash. That way you can just adding until you get the depth you want. I've tried gray but never can get the same results. Jerry "And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count.

Lincoln Country: USA | Posts: 12737 TRAINS1941 Engineer Premium Member Posted - 05/31/2020 :  7:27:21 PM     Small update of the Ore Feeders Just so you know these are from Wild West Models. One is of the stand the other with the hopper. Now all the mechanical pieces need to be put on. Jerry "And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." A.

I could take a nap and wake up and you've got this all put together for me !! Can't wait to see it all together. Rich Country: USA | Posts: 4624 BigLars Engineer Premium Member Posted - 05/31/2020 :  8:05:54 PM     Jerry, your modeling is always impressive. Keep it coming. Country: USA | Posts: 11745 Rick Administrator Premium Member Posted - 05/31/2020 :  8:44:51 PM     Congrats on the progress and looks great to boot.

Philip Country: USA | Posts: 3275 Ensign Fireman Posted - 05/31/2020 :  10:46:34 PM     Jerry, it looks like at least one of these ore feeders is ready to feed. Nice work!
