Just a teaser, the next set of cars to be done will be the grain cars. Some got the latches painted some didn't. Some will get a bit more in the weathering, and some will get grain spillage on the top.
Ver nice work on the weathering, and that building backdrop looks familiar too.A few rust buckets among the many pieces of rolling stock I have weathered. View attachment 180827View attachment 180828View attachment 180829View attachment 180830
I like the looks of those hand rails, (looking at the caboose) nice work!I see ThomasJ49 has a end of the line thread for caboose.
I did my 1st ever plastic caboose before I left for golf about 12 days ago

As per my procedures I inspect, clean and add a clear matte finish the car. In this case I then went with the Pan Pastels on the caboose. After a few colors added and blended I clear coat again. This car has quite a few layers of Pan Pastels blended together with most being with brushes but there was some sponge work
Used these pan pastels that along with a colorless blender are my favorites

Wheel faces and truck frames were weathered with Vallejo Panzer Aces #302 dark rust
Thanks DaveI like the looks of those hand rails, (looking at the caboose) nice work!

NiceI just had to do one of these, needed another option than regular freight rolling stock. View attachment 181418
That's beautiful! Also, now I think I know who both of "the two Toms" @Smudge617 was referring toI just had to do one of these, needed another option than regular freight rolling stock. View attachment 181418
Blast, ok, the THREE Toms, this is getting confusing nowThat's beautiful! Also, now I think I know who both of "the two Toms" @Smudge617 was referring to
Sorry, Chris . I'm done making assumptionsBlast, ok, the THREE Toms, this is getting confusing now
Very nice job, you'll also have to show us through your process next time so us lesser mortals can learn.I just had to do one of these, needed another option than regular freight rolling stock. View attachment 181418
I second that....and I'm the least of the lesser mortalsVery nice job, you'll also have to show us through your process next time so us lesser mortals can learn.
If you go back to the start TomO's weathering thread he's kindly explained his process and how he gets various weathering effects, I copied and printed them all out and they sit next to my paint box so I have a readily available "bible" to work from.I second that....and I'm the least of the lesser mortals
I think I might have mentioned something when I first started posting here recently. The easiest and really good looking weathering job is with a wash of either of two oil artists tube type paints , just a small amount pressed in a small bottle like the kind you would buy your normal modeling paint in or if you don't have an empty bottle the the size of a whiskey glass would do. Fill the rest of the way with Mineral Spirits and you have your wash. Brush it on and immediately brush it back off. You won't remove all the wash because the oil will set in no matter what. From there you can determine if you need to do it again or not. The wash will also settle in crevices and give a nice detailed look. Anyway that's the easiest way, from there it's all about using an airbrush.Very nice job, you'll also have to show us through your process next time so us lesser mortals can learn.
Yes thanks for talking about the oil wash method. Lots of different ways that we all weather.I think I might have mentioned something when I first started posting here recently.
