Revealing the truth ... in painting.

Just before I pulled way the masking tape, my heart momentarily stopped. Will my painting come out nicely? Will the paint seep under the tape? Ah, it's moment of truth! Here is one of the trolley coach which I am working on for a client - a batch of TC-49. I leave it to my sharp minded readers to guess the transit property.

In the meantime, don't forget pre-orders for our N scale FM H12-44 Phase 1 locomotive DIY kits and our N scale 1949 SP Lounge Car are due in about a week!

Go here for more information - FM H12-44 and SP Lounge Car.
