Small Stamp Mill

I did the decaling and initial weathering to the car.

I was quite happy with how the White Pass decals laid out on the car but it definitely doesn't look very decrepit.

I was originally going to try wet-sanding the decals down with 600 grit but then I remembered that I had a fiberglass brush in my tool kit. A bit of careful rubbing on the decal and, Voila!

I've only scuffed one side, leaving the other side for now. I did take a bit more off the 'Gateway to the Yukon' logo than I intended. I didn't overcoat the decals before I went after them with the brush. You will also notice that I took the yellow down to the gray undercoat in places as well. I think I'll try another A&I wash over the yellow sides to tone them down. I also just realized that I have to paint the hardware on the sides as well.

I also scuffed the ends and roof with the fiberglass brush, stroking in the direction of the wood grain. I like how that came out.
