I started to repaint my big joghn to give it more of a backwoods logging RR look. So far I have painted most of it black. I did the wood platforms with a mix of tan and gray. I still need to do my wash in black to bring out the grains that i sand papered in. The roof im thinking about painting a redish color or just keep black. So far what I have done I think it looks pretty good but it just doesnt have that look im looking for yet (I also have not done any weathering yet.) I really like the look of Brians Dunkirk as well as the Dunkirk from the Dec 2003 GR front cover (the same one in the Gorgeous Garden Railway book on page 107.) Im not sure what I want to do with the sides of the engine. Do I keep it black and give it a light rust to it or do I paint it to look like wood? I have all sorts of colors in the acrylics. I want to stay away from purchasing anything and use the acrylics I have. Here is what I have so far. It still has a long way to go. Also thats my new display track I am working on as well
