Well, Jim -- In my case, it's because I get so busy doing the project, I don't take time to take pictures. Of course, with digital cameras, it would be easier -- but I'm still a wet-film fan. I can show you what I've done and tell you how I did it, but I can't show you me doing it. Randy Brown - -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Andy; This sounds like a great project! While I can't say for sure about the lettering/paint that K-Line uses, you very likely will be able to remove, if you really feel you need to. Try the 90% rubbing alcohol, not the 70% (which is just diluted with water). Barring that, you can always try to wet-sand away any lettering that you can get to with small pieces or strips of 600-grit wet-or-dry sandpaper. I find that, once you remove what you can, re-coat it with black (after applying any details, etc) then decaling and weathering, you'd never know the lettering wasn't stripped off. Oh - and please show us your efforts! From the Workbench would VERY much like to feature some O material, but few O-scalers share their work.
