Railroad Revival: Painting and weathering to bring new life to American HO models

A shiny, unrealistic plastic finish can render even an adequately detailed railroad model to the status of a child's toy, leaving no place for it on any self respecting modeller's railroad.

However, the appearance of even the most lowly of models can be elevated to an acceptable standard by the careful application of painting and weathering techniques.

In this book, I'll show how you can easily paint and weather a variety of low cost American outline HO models from the last 50 years to find them a place on a modern model railroad.

The projects in this book are step by step guides, ordered to gradually take you through an increasing number of painting and weathering techniques in each project, building on the techniques from each previous project to develop your skill set.
