GRRR my airbrush frustrates me. it gets all "pulsy". For some reason, the Alclad base coat does not want to cooperate with my airbrush. I though t alclad should work straight out of the bottle (it has before). I did totally clean the brush before using the alclad, but it doesn't seem to help. That said, I did managed to finish painting my Silverliner IIIs. Right now i just need to add some details. Those ugly holes on the end were from the previous owner to install steps. I'll use the holes, and just put some plastic over top some wire. there is plenty of spare plastic from the sign pieces.

I used Polly scale Stainless Steel on the number boards, and I'm happy that it came out about the same color while still being dull, just like in older photos of the prototype. The units are #225 and #236
