| 25-6 1:44:32 | DAZed | I honestly never thought about what G would endure outdoors in Texas....I bet it's a challenge |
| 25-6 1:43:50 | DAZed | on G-scale I assume? |
| 25-6 1:43:35 | soccrdad30 | no melted cars, but custom paint jobs ruined |
| 25-6 1:43:10 | soccrdad30 | very true Doug, even in Michigan, I have had painted cars ruined because of the hot sun |
| 25-6 1:42:06 | rvn2001 |
 |
| 25-6 1:41:43 | DAZed | in Texas they would melt before they had time to weather |
| 25-6 1:40:41 | soccrdad30 | so that would work for Z scale Thom |
| 25-6 1:40:14 | soccrdad30 | I have read that the G scale trains are UV protected |
| 25-6 1:39:36 | soccrdad30 | Ha! |
| 25-6 1:39:27 | rvn2001 |
I just leave mine outside to weather themselves...  |
| 25-6 1:39:23 | soccrdad30 | on the cars, I still plan to use a wash or two on them |
| 25-6 1:38:47 | DAZed | yes, most good weathering techniques are |
| 25-6 1:38:47 | soccrdad30 | and I used brushed acrylic paint and airbrushed acrylic paint. they both work fine |
| 25-6 1:38:09 | soccrdad30 | it is not hard Doug, a bit time consuming |
| 25-6 1:38:02 | DAZed | seems somewhat similar to the salt technique |
| 25-6 1:37:57 | rvn2001 | It does sound interesting... |
| 25-6 1:37:34 | DAZed | I need to look into the hairspray chipping technique more. |
| 25-6 1:34:34 | soccrdad30 | I have a Soo F7 with 3 cars on the layout but not running, I have been busy on the kitchen table with the hairspray chipping |
| 25-6 1:33:12 | rvn2001 | I am running 4 Z scale trains tonight. |
| 25-6 1:32:52 | soccrdad30 | nite Ellen |
| 25-6 1:30:48 | GNFan | Nite,Ellen. |
| 25-6 1:30:33 | rvn2001 | Feel better, Ellen. |
| 25-6 1:30:27 | DAZed | sorry Ellen....feel better |
| 25-6 1:30:10 | ejshelton | I'm under the weather today....time for me to go back to bed |
| 25-6 1:29:48 | DAZed | yeah, I would actually like to go there too. It isn't completely out of the question, but it would be the next weekend after returning from Colorado. |
| 25-6 1:29:35 | GNFan |
Thom, who told you that?  |
| 25-6 1:29:34 | ejshelton | I hope it is |
| 25-6 1:29:24 | soccrdad30 | Good for you Doug, enjoy yourselves |
| 25-6 1:28:33 | rvn2001 |
I hear Chattanooga Tennessee is nice the 1st and 2nd of August. |
| 25-6 1:27:51 | DAZed | it definitely has some rail-related components |
| 25-6 1:27:28 | DAZed | tonight we have been planning our vacation. We haven't had one in a bit given the health issues over the past two years |
| 25-6 1:26:37 | soccrdad30 | I have heard that several times myself, maybe an old boss of mine |
| 25-6 1:25:21 | ejshelton | I heard that somewhere before |
| 25-6 1:17:51 | soccrdad30 |
 |
| 25-6 1:17:41 | soccrdad30 | Stony "Do as I say, not as I do" |
| 25-6 1:17:29 | rvn2001 | True. |
| 25-6 1:16:42 | stonysmith |
I can't yell at the gkids for being on their device at a restaraunt (or driving) when I'm using my device |
| 25-6 1:15:49 | DAZed | Multitasking |
| 25-6 1:15:36 | DAZed | Only reason I’m on tonight is I’m using my phone |
| 25-6 1:14:36 | DAZed | Stony I’ve missed quite a bit lately too |
| 25-6 1:14:18 | soccrdad30 | same here, you are in for it Stony |
| 25-6 1:13:57 | rvn2001 | Sounds like a conspiracy to me... |
| 25-6 1:13:40 | stonysmith | .... completely interfering with coming to Chat |
| 25-6 1:13:20 | stonysmith | for more than a month, she's arranged family outing Sunday at lunch and Wednesday nights |
| 25-6 1:12:37 | stonysmith | you should be the obits.. |
| 25-6 1:12:37 | soccrdad30 | Ha! |
| 25-6 1:12:23 | stonysmith | I swear that the wife is trying to KILL me. |
| 25-6 1:12:19 | soccrdad30 | hi Stony |
| 25-6 1:12:16 | soccrdad30 | let acrylic paint dry for 15 to 20 minutes, then use short bristle brush to slowly remove the soft areas or as you wish |
| 25-6 1:12:14 | GNFan | Hi, Stony. |
