Model Railroad Hobbyist | | November 2015 | | #59 #69 Model Railroad Hobbyist January 2015 YES, IT’S A MODEL compiled by Don Hanley 1. Rick Sutton shared a couple of photos he took of an SP bulk- head flat that he modeled. The car is from Espee models. Rick says he didn’t change anything on the model, just did a lot of hand brushing. The deck is individual boards that are painted with various custom mixes of Floquil paints. Small spots of raw umber were put on all the nail and bold heads, followed with Bragdon light rust pow- der. The final step was to scrape the deck with an X-Acto blade to reveal the original red paint, simulating wear and tear on the deck. Final touches of weathering were done with oil paints.
