MILW 4630 Hi Cube Box Car

 Fifty Three
Here I also had some assistance. "FRIGR" is not my work nor is the other side of the car. I went over the whole car, added "Zone" and did the stencil as the numbers had been obscured. Thanks to FRIGR and the others for helping the development of my graffiti work. All weathering is mine with oils.

To better understand graffiti work I also re-did the colour on this side of the car.

CN 479846 & CN 479853 40' Box Cars

    Thirty Four.

These two cars started out as the same car. Both are Athearn kits that I bought second hand. What these cars represent is my early attempts at working with graffiti as well as some examples from others that did some outline work for me. "Grim" and  "Zone" are my original work while the other work is outlined by friends but gone over by me with colour.

Again the paints used is a combination of acrylics and oils. I wanted these cars to be on the way to being very uncared for but not quite there yet. I consider these cars to be a medium to heavy weather job with heavy graffiti work.

As these cars were to be era wise in at least the late 70's I wanted the running boards off. I filled in the holes and re-worked the ridge work. Finished work below.
