For railway vehicles, I use multiple weathering and patination techniques that can be integrated with one another. The work on each rolling stock begins with the disassembly of the most delicate parts or those that must be painted separately (for example, axles and bogies for freight cars or pantographs for electric locomotives). The entire model is then cleaned and degreased with a mild detergent to remove any dirt or grease: even a single fingerprint can ruin the entire project! Subsequently, the finishing touches can vary depending on the desired results: washes with oil paints, airbrush blending, or light touches with powdered pigments to bring out the details.
Customizing templates
Of course, I can also customize your models: for example, by changing the livery to paint another one, using plotter technology through which any type of adhesive mask is created and cut, after having drawn it according to your instructions with the Corel Draw program.
Assembly of buildings and factories from kits
I also assemble buildings and structures from kits , professionally and meticulously, including plastering, sanding, and priming before painting in the colors chosen by the client. During the construction phase, I can also add internal LED lighting, suggesting the most suitable locations for it. Once assembly is complete, the building can be aged, giving it an even more realistic feel by reproducing the patina typical of the building or location where it will be installed.
Realistic and detailed dioramas
I also create small dioramas to display your models in a realistic setting that will make them stand out at their best: imagine a complete, detailed, aged and dirtied train, displayed along a stretch of railway built according to your specifications, and perhaps made functional for small maneuvers or for running in the locomotives...
Resin accessories
I am also equipped for the design and creation of resin accessories , using a high-definition 3D printer: in this way it is possible to clone any type of printed object.
Scale cars
Even scale model car enthusiasts can turn to me for professional painting of plastic model kit bodies.
