Hey guys,
I just completed my River Point Station Ford F-250 pickup truck decaled for an Amtrak MOW pickup so I thought I would share.
I started out with a River Point Station F-250 in MOW white. I put gloss coat on the model, then I applied custom decals that I made from the Micro-Mark inkjet decal paper. I then applied a satin finish and added license plates printed on copy paper.
For the decals I made the Amtrak logo, the truck number, as well as lettering that reads:
This is found on many Amtrak MOW vehicles in the Northeast.
I was happy with the decal paper, except that it seems to be a little thicker than Microscale. Unfortunately, on such a small model the edges stand out a little. I may add some more clearcoat to try to hide this.
Here are additional photos: flic.kr/s/aHsjHFVuMV
I hope you guys enjoy and maybe try this for yourselves. If anyone wants the artwork I would gladly send you the publisher file.
