Weathering Rolling Stock, a Continous thread

[Jaz avalley]

Nice work on the wall. No room? I have a nice box car you could work on…

I’ll look into it capture any images, you then need some tracing paper, and a steady hand I think you have the steady hand
give me a mm. X mm that would suit you

This is popular but I am thinking something less generic and a more one off

This 90 degree left looks good to me …thoughts….not ice of course just the main idea then the idea of 3D depth,

I like it, not sure I could pull off the 3D effect , 2d is fine. Splattered against the boxcar side would be neat

Well, interesting turn of events. Sold one of my 3 remaining yellow TBOX cars on Facebook yesterday. Got the PayPal payment and I notified the buyer it was packaged and would go to the post office on Monday. Response back was thanks what else have you got. I LOVE when I see that statement. It is almost always a sale.

Sent him a flurry of pictures and he asked if there wasn’t anything heavier weathered. JazA, we can pass on Wiley Coyote smacking the yellow TBOX car side I messed up on trying to clean those fibers up. He loved it. Along with 4 other items it is packaged up.

You never know.

I will be shutdown but will look in until I return from the travels on June 16. Feel free as always about posting your weathering projects, comments and constructive criticisms on weathered freight cars

I did say although you felt gutted,that I thought it was still a great piece, smug eye roll.

Thanks, he was looking for beat up. I don’t do beat up but he approved what I had and the customer much of the time is right.

We still need to work on sizing the coyote, thanks

No problem I need a vertical and horizontal limit because then I can work it so that it is sized to work, although you can easily adjust on screen
I often draw on a pad, then use tracing paper to copy to finished item, as rubbing out mistakes only really works on paper.

 

[Jaz avalley]

Until I know the sizes I’ll show a technique that can be used easily

tracing paper and a not sharp pencil, and tracing paper folded
i first traced splatt
then turned 90 degrees and traced a battered coyote- although by bending the jaw line in pencil drawing the nose looks like the jaw so I would not repeat that but keep the standard stick out jaw line,
this makes battered ears important
the yellow eyes will then be important even at this small size
FYI at this small size do not get upset if a feature goes wrong, let it dry and repaint to background and repeat, and if paint is thicker it’s a 3D representation.
if nervous try on a piece of plastic white first,
once I have the sizes off you I’ll d a proper on, I’ll go on plastic as foam takes more patience because texture makes it harder, also on plastic you have one major advantage.
foam=freehand
plastic on the opposite side of the tracing paper with a blunt 2b-6b pencil scribble black then back on good side hold against car and retrace drawing, making transferring is so much easier, make sure you give the scribble at the back a good thickness to aid transfer

Fortunately, per his last post, Tom sold the car in question. So the coyote is now moot.

Moot for the car intended but the Coyote will be added to an upcoming car. After I get back in June.
