Charging Larry - part 2

I was able to paint the charging Larry the other night. I completely painted the model using Floquil "Reefer Gray". Once dry I over sprayed the model using Floquil "Rust" in various places, some areas heavier than others. Once that was dry I then used "Dark Brown" acrylic craft paint to simulate older rust spots. To finish the model I lightly dry brushed areas of the model using Floquil "Lettering Gray" to help blend everything together. I used Microscale "Micro Kristal Klear" for the windows. I oversprayed the the complete model with Testors Dulcot to blend the windows. Finishing touches include a decal and lamp shade. Oh, I nearly forgot I used black chalk to simulate coal dust around the hopper openings
