Using an exacto knife they peel away certain parts to expose for painting. That's how they apply multiple colors to their car bodies. It's probably overkill for model trains.The Train Spotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00132634666883850277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530989713679372474.post-50732944789615086382010-05-11T20:13:46.827-07:002010-05-11T20:13:46.827-07:00Hi Train Spotter!

I tried a similar approach to what your describing (I think) with my "2nd Skyscraper Scratchbuild" (the Sony building)) in which I masked out the windows on clear acrylic and sprayed the 'surface' areas with spray paint. I'm not sure I understand everything you're saying about the aerosol's....I see all sorts of RC stuff at hobby shops so I'll look into it and see how it works! I always love new ideas! Thanks again!Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454470373325096585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530989713679372474.post-72961442309353378802010-05-10T21:26:10.474-07:002010-05-10T21:26:10.474-07:00I've been following your blog some time now an...I've been following your blog some time now and I wanted to say it's given me inspiration to continue working on mine. Keep up the great work and please post more videos! I love your TGV. <br /><br />Have you considered taking clear styrene and applying an adhesive mask to it? We used to do this in art class when we wanted to do some airbrushing on our drawings. Using an exacto knife, you can peel away the mask where you want to paint. Cut, peel, spray, dry and peel. What you have left is a building wall painted to your color with clear windows. It's just a thought.<br /><br />Instead of the sheets of adhesive mask, you could mask using the aerosol spray type. They use this stuff for painting RC car bodies. I haven't tried this aerosol spray myself, but some of the guys in the rc car club have used this.<br /><br />The clear styrene will have better stability than paper.<br /><br />The only drawback is this won't be suitable if you want recessed windows. But it might be adequate for buildings way in the back where the detail can't be scrutinized to closely.<br /><br />Having seen your work, I'm trying my hand at building my own rural railway station.The Train Spotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00132634666883850277noreply@blogger.com
