This just does not look like any type of fun no matter what time of the year it is.

Fantastic transformation.
Not alot of dry transfer companies around, but try http://www.microscale.com/.

You will have to start with a glossy paint, then decal, then dullcoat. They have alot of lettering styles to choose from.

The way I look at this isn't a repaint Its a work of art and takes some real skill to get the results we are seeing.Your work is fantastic. Cant wait to see what you do with the ringer,and the finish of the big crane. Mark L

Very detailed thanks again. The dry transfer lettering I have is from my college days.(I just happened to go through some old books and found them).Try a college book store (I'm old fashion) still the internet probably has something. I'm into O-gauge trains and there are co's with lettering out there,I just haven't bought any.By the way I just turned 60.
