Weather Attempt 5


Didn't someone around here do some youtube presentations on weathering?? By they way they weathering is looking great MLW.
 
Update on weathering:

Working on a batch of 40" boxcar. (Ex CN, now CFSY)

They look great, especially the faded CN boxcars. The rust effects are getting better with each car you do.
 
More rust!!!

On the second covered hopper I am going for a more "rusty" look:D

MLW...those all look great!

I'd like to have something that looked like that on my RR. Mine all still look like they just came out of the paint shop.

Thanks MLW for explaining your technique on page 5 ( the "Rag Technique" ) :) . You mention that you use diluted Polly Scale paints.
Could you please list the name ( or the Polly Scale number ) of the colors you were using for the CN boxcars. I'm modelling the CN too.

A big Thank You for that tutorial.

Here goes another attempt. Not much merit on this one.
I used a fine mist of rubbing alcohol before applying some light weathering and a wash of acrylic paint diluted in same.
Why the light wash of rubbing alcohol? What does t do?
