Wow, looks grate! Do you have any photo of real wagon?

I have found two photos of the real thing:

Photo 1

Photo 2

The model isn't 100% accurate, but good enough.

Alright, so... Two new arrivals this past week. First up, a second class Deutsche Reichsbahn coach, Bme 51 50 21-53 137-8, produced by Roco.



Next is something a bit more unusual. These two little speeders, while unpowered, are handbuilt by a guy i know. I've had the orange (Swedish State Railways) one for a while now, but the yellow (Norwegian State Railways) model arrived this past Wednesday.

Just picked up two new sets of carriages. Eurotrain 0230 and 0240. They are beautiful. Superb. Way more detailed than the Heris cars i purchased earlier.

Hi Swede,
tell to your guy, that painting must do with airbrush for best result. Simple brush is undesirable tool for little modells.

I actually don't know if an airbrush would work considering the materials he use. Plastic film, cardboard, and modelling clay.

Ha!
Airbrush is sprayer oly!
If you see that paint is dense and your airbrush get spit, you must add the solvent to paint.
Choosing of solvent is simple: test your painted plastic with different solvents. If plastic sill sticky - it's good. Dissolve your paint and use airbrush!

There is a little joke about it - if you have one airbrush, you can paint all except your airbrush. If you have two airbrushes - you really can paint all

Airbrush it is just a sprayer for any liquid paints (watercolor, enamel, acrylic etc.). Just select paint situated for your material and viola!

Viola?
Vassiliy, what did you mean? Again processed cheese "Viola"?

Again processed cheese "Viola"?

It seems to me that this is the influence of Finland located close to St. Petersburg ...
