Painting Graffiti on Model Trains - Gondola Project

**Click on Show More** **Please Like and Share!**

While graffiti isn’t everyone’s thing, Austin commissioned me to plaster one side of an N-Scale gondola with one enormous “piece.” This video is an in-depth exploration of how I hand-painted and lightly weather a railcar, especially in trying to replicate a prototype picture. There are a lot of tips in this one whether you like having graffiti on your layout or not.

While some of the individual products I use are listed below, I now have my own shop page on Amazon, complete with a small commentary on each of the products I recommend. If you are not able to find these products at your local hobby store, you can find them here:

Grex Genesis XGi3 Airbrush Starter Set https://amzn.to/2E6l1pg
(Dual-action Gravity Feed airbrush, compressor, braided 6ft hose, and a getting started DVD)
This is an updated version of the combo set that I started with. The advantage of this newer version is that if you wanted to swap out needle sizes, it can be done with upgrade kits, and it comes with different sizes of paint cups. It comes with a 0.3mm needle as standard. This also comes with the same compressor that you saw in the video. I’ve been very happy with my setup. It has done everything I’ve asked it to. Fittings on this airbrush and hose are ⅛” which are compatible with Iwata hoses.
