40' and 45' shipping containers

In a prior post I showed my progress painting the shipping containers. Progress on several is moving along. There was a set back with one model.

Decals on on of the 45' containers is almost done. Once applied, it will need a gloss top coat to seal the decals, then a flat coat to dull the shine.

In profile showing all the defects...






The decal went on fine, but this photo really shows off the grainy surface. I guess we'll call this one 'used'.




The ink ran while the decal was drying. I can fix most of it with over painting. But again...used.




Thought the door latches got cleaned up. But some of that gray paint remains.




The profile shot. What most people will see as it travels around the railroad.
