- This is the secret to ultra realistic model train graffiti without using decals. All of my model train graffiti is hand painted l but I have always tried to get very fine lines and realistic ho scale train graffiti. Even n scale model train graffiti is possible with these techniques that I have experimented with for the last 14 years. Model train graffiti can be simple and effective for adding realistic details to your model railroad or diorama.

I saw my boxcar! Yes, N scale graffiti is not easy to do. Especially when trying to do a full piece and trying to stay in the bottom 1/3 of the car's height.
I've always wanted to get a garden scale train car to weather and add some graffiti to. The big size would be fun to work with!
G scale is fun but I love the challenge of N scale
A coat of matte varnish could potentially help with ink/paint that flows too much or doesn't stick well. Combine with some gloss varnish after the fact to restore gloss/clarity.
Not a bad idea. Thanks
Ur are a master behind the camera. Ur presence is spot on. Ur camera cuts are on point. And ur graffiti ain't bad either. Ur going places.
Thanks so much! I put things in that order too 😂😝
That's awesome. I have been waiting to see how the calligraphy pen was working out. It seems like it has been working great. Other than on the windows lol
Yes sir! Just another arrow in my quiver!
When you did the short of the calligraphy pen I thought it would probably work pretty good. I am definitely looking forward to trying out graffiti some more and trying out dry powder weathering and air brushing.
Amazing video man will definitely use this
Awesome! Glad I could help!
Great explanation of your work and the frustrations that come with it, Tim! It is good to have you in the MRR Community. Thanks for sharing!
have you tried a rapidograph pen? they are technical drafting pens pretty finicky but worth the hassle imo. as for the issue with dip pins on acrylic I would try coating the acrylic in various spray varnishes and see if those offer a better surface for the ink to adhere to.
No I haven’t. I’ll have to check those out. Yeah it works ok on the dried paint, but as soon as it hits an engraved window detail it sputters and then explodes. But I plan on experimenting. Just not on my final model 😝
The tiny struggle is real.
How do the finer tip (PC-1M or PC-1MR) Posca paint pens compare in line width to a fine Sharpie?
They’re finer than the pc-1M but not as vibrant. But like most paint markers, it’s likely that they can leak out on the car
Do you just leave it as-is once your done, or do you seal your (really great) work afterwards. If you do seal: what do you use? I’ve used sharpies on miniatures before & found that it got trashed when varnishing afterwards.
Thanks so much! I do a pass of dull clear coat. It does slightly change the look but it works out in the end
Cool - so spray can stuff? Any specific brand? What I used was Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch & there was a bit of bleeding - it was like it reactivated the ink or something…
@@SuperSyndie I use testors
I wish you would make all graffittis on my country's trains (SBB - Switzerland) because most of them suck. Graffittis can be amazing but just taking your stinking name in simple black lines is just dumb. Want to leave a mark... leave a mark! And yours are grand!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that
1. You uncapped that marker with one hand like a boss
2. How long did it take you to find that clip of you throwing markers over your shoulder?
3. Liar.
1. What can I say?!
2. 3 minutes
3. About what?!
Yeah you're not miniature so pay attention! 👈👉🚂
I laughed way too much at this. I don’t know why 😂
I just pictured “is anyone here miniature? No? I DIDN’T THINK SO!”
