That may make the full size RGS rail truck turn green with envy. Most satisfactory so far. -- Russ

Very cool!

Thanks guys for your comments. Here's a photo of my progress on this last work truck to show that I am moving forward. There still a little more work to be done on the model. Onto  the flat bed, I added a small hand-operated turntable under a Weaver Auto Crane. I will add the rest of the detail, and take the last photos and finish up the painting tutorial.

Gordie, why are you doing so much less modeling than you used to? -- Russ

Here's a  photo of the flat bed and crane. These parts are mostly finished.


Russ, I'm hoping that my modeling time will pickup.

Thanks guys for your comments. Painting (step A and C) are the same (step B) I ran out of the Humbrol Yellow# 154 MATT and was not able to get more. My LHS had one can of Scalecoat UP Yellow S1022 paint and it's a good match.

Here's more photos of the finished truck and crane. Looking for a better load for this truck the auto crane I can't see much use on a rail-truck (very little reach on the boom and with a short  winch cable), so I'm thinking of setting the crane on a pedestal on the Monorail track Diorama for a focal point.
