hi Kory... that was an awesome "how to" love those paint pens.. might have to get a pack... great job on your vehicles... 2 thumbs up & thanks for sharing.. vinny
Love the pens idea! I would just like to point out that resin dust is highly toxic so when sanding down the car the minimum is to do your best to not breathe it but the ideal would be to wear a mask. Resin kits and resin model add-ons are very common in the plastic model world (tanks, cars and airplanes) and there are modelers that actually died from breathing too much of that stuff.
really nice job , why did you not paint the tires black and then add the silver on the hub cap areas? I use an old dried out micro brush and take off the brush part ...works really well. I like your format...Great job
Great how-to video, Korey! Thanks for sharing it on TH-cam. However, I will never own any of these types of vehicles because they all have solid, opaque plastic where TRUE (NOT pretend) transparent windows should be. If cast-plastic model makers would design road vehicles with actual cavities in the molds where windows are meant to be, then I would consider buying them. Meanwhile, I'll stick with road vehicles made by Classic Metal Works, TrainWorx, Atlas, Herpa, Wiking, and Wheels of Time. I'd even buy vehicles made by Oxford Models if they made them in U.S. N Scale (1:160) instead of in the larger British N Scale (1:144). Prototypical vehicle appearance remains extremely important to me, whether it be in scale size or transparent windows. I won't settle for anything less as a prototype N scale modeler. -from Tom Pilling
I agree, I was more after the fact that these cars are modern as I am more of a modern railroader but I agree that transparent windows are a lot more believable! Thanks for watching!
@@NoFear2473651 cool I have a few from shapeways I need to paint soon. I ordered those 005 fine tip paint pens for the Windows like you use. Love the detail on your layout though bro! Amazing
@@NoFear2473651 yeah the vehicles i got are nice. You should check it out. They have a massive selection. Very detailed. Got a fire truck and a few different crown vics. Actually using the pigma on the windows as we speak.
@@NoFear2473651 hey so I used a spray paint on one car and the paint seems to be flaking a little. It kinda started clogging the micron pen. Have you every had that happen.
Those came out looking really nice. Great video. Thanks.
Ron's Trains N Things thank you, thanks for watching!

Excellent job and inspiring me to do the same for my n scale scenery.
Nice vid.
Your technique, tools, materials, and demonstration were all very informative. Well done.
Network Automotive Service Center does all wheel alignments. Been going to them for years .
Excellent tutorial. Thank you. I am definitely going to purchase a set of those pens, brilliant.
Thanks!
Good job - thanks for sharing !
these are fun vehicles to build. i had some as running and a few in a junkyard. It's fun to customize

Nice! I've ordered some N scale cars and trucks from a Shapeways vendor. I'll have to use your video to paint them.
Right on! Thanks for watching, hope you found it useful!
Great work and a good how too, thanks for sharing. They are going to look great on the layout.
Great tips! Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure and wear a mask next time

Thank you! I find it easier to use the raised edge of the rim to help guide the brush when painting the tire. Thanks for watching!

I have been wondering for awhile about the quality of the Willmodel vehicles
Hey how I make a realstick road and street lamps like
Sadly Willmodels no longer selling on eBay. Anyone know if he is selling someplace else?
Did you hand or spray paint your cop cars as they are 2 colors?
I primered them with spray paint then hand painted with Testors enamel paint!
