CN Caboose...

Five.
This is the CN version of the previously posted CP caboose from Walther's, chosen for the same reasons. This time I added some graffiti.

Graffiti was first transferred to the car in decal form. I used Blair Line decals, you may notice that some of their decals are eerily similar to some of the work on the Art Crimes web page. After the decals were applied I went back over them with paint markers to make them blend in better and "pop".

Added windows, weight and Kadee couplers.

CP Caboose...

Three.
Here we have CP caboose 439418. This is a Walther's Trainline caboose. I chose to do some work on this caboose because 1, it is inexpensive and 2,  it is a low detail car that gave me the opportunity to demonstrate how weathering can make "lower end" models look good.

I added window glazing via some scrap thin plastic, weighted the gar using self-stick lead weights and added McHenry couplers. I also added a figure in the copula.

Dirt and grime was done using acrylics. I use both washes and dry-brushing techniques. Rust and rust streaks were added with oils. There is no graffiti on this car.

This is another shot of the same car. My apologies for the lighting and camera work, I have never claimed to be a photographer.
