Country: USA | Posts: 7481 railman28 Fireman Posted - 06/24/2012 :  9:40:09 PM     The cars are coming along nicely. You want to try "blacken it" on those brass hand holds rather than paint.

You guess right, Greg. Martin, not only was the process explained but also the steps shown, I think. Nice cars. I agree with Bob on blackening rather than painting the handgrabs.

Unknown Country: United Kingdom | Posts: 3951 elwoodblues Fireman Premium Member Posted - 06/25/2012 :  10:30:15 AM         I get my "blackin-it" from a jewelry supply house that supply supplies to people who make their own jewelry. I forget what the trade name is but it is used to add a patine to jewelry. Cars are looking great.

I've found that the grabs I've been getting from Tichy have a slight twist to them and need to be straightened before installing or you'll end up with a canted (tipped) step. For blackening, if you have any local gunsmiths or gunshop around, check with them as they use it to touch up parts. Otherwise, the jewelry store may have something.

Well have to search for one Let's do a real SBS on the bush making... Base were I work on is a thin sheet of aluminium.. instead of taping I used non permanent sprayglue this time to hold the kraftpaper on the aluminium sheet (paper's the kind spraypainters use for masking) and painted it black/brown with a cheap wall latex.. The sisal rope in varoius stages and the tool I use for combing it a bit straight ( it's for the dog and from the petshop) Changed the next step a bit, didn't like the clumbs of hot glue so I figured adding the bush frames befor groundcover would hide them a bit more.. also did a second sheet with 0.4mm florist wire .. Like the hot glue for sopeeding up the proces. Next step is adding fast drying white glue to the sheet and a variety of sawdust from my workshop...with a coarse and fine sieve.. closer look.. Did put both sheets away to dry. Will post more steps later..

I'm sure there must be more than one hunter's supply store in the Netherlands if you search your yellow pages. Gun blackening is available in several tones from bluish black to a warm brown for your old Purdey or Holland&Holland shotgun ;-) Troels Kirk Näsum, Sweden http://coastline.no13.se Edited by - kirk on 06/26/2012 12:47:23 AM Country: Sweden | Posts: 4542 Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 of 60 Topic    New Topic |    New Poll |   Reply to Topic |   Printer Friendly Previous Page | Next Page Jump To: Select Forum Railroad Line Administrative Forums       Forum News       Administrative Posts General Forums       The Tour Bus       The Arrival Track       RR-L Member Personal Websites       The Crew Lounge       The Classroom       Interchange Tracks       Rail Events       Reference & Research Model Railroad Forums       The Sn3 Branch       Mike Chambers' Craftsman's Corner       HOn30 and HOn3 Forum       Early Rail Forum       The On30 Line       Railroad Photography Forum       Small Scale Model Railroad Forum       Mid Scale Model Railroad Forum       Large Scale Model Railroad Forum       Logging, Mining, & Narrow minded       Model Railroad Construction       Micro & Mini Layouts       Layout Design / Operation Sig Forum       Startin' from Scratch       DCC, Computers and Electronics for Model Railroads Shop Talk       Vehicle and Non-Rail Transportation Modeling       The Roundhouse       Rolling Stock: the Car Shops       The Diesel Shop Company Store       Railroad-Line Swap Meet       New Product Announcements Fallen Flag Railroad Forums       Erie / Lackawanna Railroad Forum       Raritan River Railroad Forum Railroad Software Forums       Atlas Right Track Software       Railroad Line Software Library Model Railroad Club Forums       The Model Railroad Club Forum Sponsor Forums       Rusty Stumps Scale Models       KingMill Enterprises Railroad Line Weblinks       Badger Creek Lumber Co.       Central Missouri & Southern RR       Raritan River Railroad       Thor's All Gauge Page  -------------------- Home Active Topics Frequently Asked Questions Member Information Search Page Railroad Line Forums © 2000-13 Railroad Line Co.
