I have tried several ways to do the freight doors, but nothing I have done really looks very good. I will keep trying.


In the meantime, I need to put some door knobs/plates on my two gray metal doors:



First, I took a piece of regular white copy paper and drew two small squares on it. Inside the squares, I put a small dot of tacky glue (using a tooth pick). I let that dry overnight. The squares are there so I could easily locate the two (now transparent) glue dots. I painted over those areas with silver paint:


I will let the paint dry overnight and cut out the knobs and plates. If the knobs look too small or not quite round, I will put a little pin drop of paint on them.

I did this same technique on one of the doors on Midland Steel:


Very easy and it looks a little better than just a blob of paint by itself.........more as I progress
