[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by chutton01 One thing I didn't seem mentioned in the FAQ was your method for rust spots, in particular the nice rust spots on CNW 175016. I've seen these rust spots (dark, splotchly rust spots surrounded by lighter rust stains) on much prototype equipment (particular gondolas), and have seen a few methods of making them (e.g. brown primer covered by rubber cement, spray final coat, rub away leaving splotched, add rust wash; final coat, add dark rust color with very fine brush or piece of wire, then add rush paint/wash - and there are others). What's your prefered method for achieving that effect? [/quote] Painting the rust on. That's what I was trying to convey in the FAQ. I'm not really weathering. I'm painting with acrylics and enamels using a brush - as if the side of each car were a canvas. I was never sold on any of the conventional model RR weathering methods you mentioned.
