<p>Been thinking about how to weather my caboose ([:P]). I still have a set of owdered pigment colors which I could use for that. If I "rub" the sides with a whitish pigments, it would not only take the gloss away, but also "bleach" the oxide red color, making the sides look as if they had been subjected to sun. A light dusting with a darker color would highlight all the creaks and crevices, making them look as if a lot of ra*n did work on them. The trucks could do with some rust, as well as the brake detail and the truss rods. But how about the roof and the underbody? I would like to "lighten" the dark black of the roof, but a a streak down the middle of it, simulating soot and cinders doing a job. The underbody could use some mud and grime.</p> <p>Will that work? I might give it a try. If I fail, I can still wash it down...</p>
