Great job! [:)][:D]

The variations from locomotive to locomotive look great too as far as the weathering and body details.

[1] What techniques did you use for your weathering?
[2] What brand did you use for detailing parts? (Details West? Cannon?)

It was a good idea posting these photos. Other modelers can use these as a guide as well! [swg][tup]

Peace out and God Bless!

thanks you,

I use Pastle chalks, and Poly scale paints, but 90% of it is all Chalks.

i use Mostly DetailsWest, but i also use D.A., Cannon,Utah Pacific,A-line, ll are great parts to use, the grabs on the Kato unit are all custom bent Metal ones, i can stand plastic grabs, the only ones i seem fit to like are P2K's.


thanks again!

I never tried chalks to weather but I think I should now give it a try.

yeah the chalks work great, but take time to get use to. and they wont hurt the paint if you ever want to wash it off.

Did you use anything to keep the chalks from wiping off?
like hairspray or somthing?

I have been using chalks for wheathering for ages and in my experience they get fixed rather well to the surface of the locomotive/car provided it has been cleaned thouroughly beforehand. I found that spraying afterwards almost oblitarates the chalk. I never touch the chalked locomotive/car with my bare hands. I have a pair of white cotton gloves that I use when chalking and these have become so saturated with chalk that when I use them picking up a locomotive/car there are no touchmarks visible.
