UP 4-6-6-4 challenger imported by Tenshodo in 1999 repair (cont).

Masking for the UP dark grey and the fire box.

I used my Key models UP challenger as a reference.

No 'measurements' done; just used 'dividers' and the 'rivets' to locate 'masking locations'.

A lot of 'masking' just to put on very little paint!

Used the 'torpedo' heater to warm up the detached shop.

60 is 'good enough'.

Colors used.

Used so little paint that I just diluted the paint in the 'air brush' bottle and then disposed of any remaining paint in this bottle (not wanting to contaminate or dilute the original bottle of paint).

The 'graphite and oil' paint looks very fragile so this color is the last one that I apply.

I think it would 'pull up' if tape was applied to it.

'Striping' decals will be applied between the 2 paint colors.

Another 2 hours at 200 degrees.

Garbage 'digging'.

A very nice hard maple book shelf was next to the neighbor's garbage cans so I took it.

Needed a place for my railroad books!
