Christmas Train - Engine 2014

So this Blog is new April 2017, but I wanted to blog about some past projects to get it going.

I took this train and painted it. I do not have any pictures of the process. I took the shell off, sprayed it with some hobby printer. You have to get special primer that is made to stick to these. Most paints will not stick to Lexan. Plus this primer goes on real thin. Primer that is not designed for this will be too thick.

The primer was white.

I painted everything else by hand

Christmas Car - 2015

I did this a few years ago...

Christmas time I wanted to build up a Christmas train to go around the tree. Had this old car and decided to paint it up. Took the trucks off and gave her a gold spray.

Next I took some black and painted some details:

Tried my hand at some other colors.

 

It looks good on the track. I had painted a steam engine the year before. I was going to do a car a year, but I did not do one last year. Maybe I will do another one 2017.

Tell me what you think, what kind of car should I do next to ad to my Christmas train? I got all year to think about it.
