Bonafied Grande Nut
This is one of the few weathering jobs I've done that include the use of india ink. The truth shouldn't hurt, so fire away.
No, but then I freelance nearly everything... Thanks for lookin it over for me.Looks just as good up close. What do you think of it? Do you have a prototype you are imitating?
Kinda makes me wonder what it would look like if I did both.I think it looks good. I like the "normal" weathering job a little better as coal dust tends to collect more along the rivet lines like the "normal" weathered hopper. But they both look good.
I should snap a pic of the drag of coal hoppers that runs to the local power plant pretty regularly...some of the ugliest things you could imagineKinda makes me wonder what it would look like if I did both.One thing's for sure, it would be a "dirty" hopper.
Could someone show me their technique or a reference?
Well, as usual, there's a right way, wrong way and grande man's way.Is that a wash of india ink? Usually you see it settle near the seams, but it doesn't look like that what this does.
