I'm testing a new video series, that I'd hope can be a weekly, or bi-weekly thing sometime next year.
Please leave comments if you'd like to see more.

Josh,
I watched with interest. I've never used any other paint but Floquil on my railroad models (well, that's a lie ... I have used Scale Coat on a few brass locomotives. So I am being exposed to something new, something worth learning about.
I'd be interested in seeing more ... at Big Blue, we always like pictures, and these pictures move!
Double bonus!

Thanks guys. I gained a few suggestions in the few hours since I posted on a few forums.
#1 Audio, need to dub in better audio, that freeway noise is crazy! Wish my camera supported an external mic.
#2 Adding still before/after images into the video clips, and quick fades between the cuts.
#3 Showing the rest of my wheels & trucks method.

Simple and effective...I like it.
Those jigs sure are handy for painting. The work glove is a good idea too. I usually paint outside as well...there's nothing like sunshine to help discover where the paint didn't get to, plus there little or no fumes to deal with.

I like the video, and like your site! I've mentioned it on my own blog, and posted a link in my links collumn, hopefully it will generate some more traffic. :-)

I liked the video, Josh, but when you paint in the bathroom, you should be wearing a full two-stage respirator - a dust mask or single stage respirator will not remove the chemical vapours from your breathing air. Using a two stage respirator, both the paint particles and the harmful vapours, along with all of the odour, are filtered out.
