Have you ever wanted to learn to paint your own model steam locomotives? Now you can, and it's easy to learn how! This new video presentation, "How to Paint a Steam Locomotive", shows you, step by step using easy to understand methods, exactly how to paint and finish a steam locomotive.
And we don't just show you once! The TWO DVD set starts with a chapter on tools and techniques to get you headed in the right direction. Next you get three detailed chapters covering three separate painting projects: One, a basic-level Bachmann 2-8-0; Two, how to paint a brass Shay, a two-truck PFM 70-tonner detailed and finished as Sugar Pine Lumber Company #10; and Three, a brass Mikado, a Westside Models of the Minarets & Western Railway #104, an MK-10 class.
Every step is covered , disassembly, cleaning, masking, paint blends and mixing, airbrush use, prep for paint, painting, touch up, decals, final clear finish, the whole works. Nothing is left to chance. This project uses Badger ModelFlex paint, but other brands will work as well.
Plus Bonus DVD: Painting a locomotive is just half of the story. Some modelers prefer the brand-new, clean look for their motive power, but those who want things to look a bit aged and used may find the "Weathering" DVD, a companion to the "How to Paint a Steam Locomotive" DVD, very useful.
In this DVD, we show you all the steps we took to complete the weathering on the Bachmann 2-8-0 and the M&WRy #104 Mikado. Paint washes, weathering powder and airbrushing are all covered in detail as we add a touch of age and road-weary miles to these engines.
(For a more complete weathering how-to video, see "Steam Loco Weathering Clinic," also available on this site)
