[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by AggroJones Bragdon Enterprise weathering powders. They are like extemely powerful chalks. I love 'em. $25 gets you a little bag of each color of these magical powders. [/quote] Bragdon chalks are great - they include a dry glue in their makeup, and it is claimed that rubbing them fixes the chalks to the model. I picked up two separate "kits" of their chalks, and have used one quite a bit recently on my On30 Climax. The kit included soot, and three different shades of rust - from a brownish color to an orange one. I do like the effects - take a look: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v409/railfan/Climax.jpg[/IMG] I coated most of the model with soot first, to dull down the nice satin factory black, then used two of the darker rust colors mostly to simulate road dirt rather than rust. I haven't coated the model with anything, nor have I handled it very much. I can pick it up by the roof edge (the body is metal), so this may not be a problem. Bob Boudreau
