Jace: I just uploaded a file for a demonstration of how to make a "daily driver" out of an AF caboose body. All I used was a cheap Testor's paint brush and Testor's Flat Black for the roof, Poly S Santa Fe caboose red for the roof walk (to make it look faded), and Testor's white to hi-light the cast-on grabirons.
I also used some granite dust to weather the roof Were I to do this "right", I would spray paint the entire carbody flat black to start, then apply the colors over that. Anyway, I thought anybody wanting to convert AF caboose bodies to scale might want examine this before they carve up any more caboose bodies. They were remarkably detailed for their time in the first place.
