Album: First attempt

Front right side. The prototype LLPX SD38-2s are in excellent condition, but there are still a few spots of rust here and there. Based on the prototype, I used Floquil Roof Brown to simulate rust inside the horn chimes and running down from the right-hand class light knockout.

The prototype's anti-skid walkway material is starting to wear thin in spots. To simulate, I brushed Floquil Grimy Black on over a small area and let it sit for 2-3 minutes. I then went back and, with a Q-Tip dipped in thinner, started rubbing off the grimy black to expose the blue base coat underneath.
