Originally posted by 8500HPGASTURBINE I wouldn't even consider using chalk. For the best results use weathering powder. I placed a link below so you can read for yourself. They are the best on the market. You won't be disappointed. You can use them to weather anything including engines & rolling stock. They are not cheap though but will go a long way. http://www.bragdonent.com/weather.htm i just went online and ordered some. it looks interesting. thanks for the help! john Reply cheese3 Member sinceMay 2003 From: Morgantown, WV 1,459 posts Posted by cheese3 on Wednesday, May 11, 2005 2:51 PM I like paint because it does not make as big of a mess as chalk. I found chalks in the craft section of wal-mart if you want to go that route. Adam Thompson Model Railroading is fun!

If I were to go the chalk route, where is the best place to purchase and which method is preferred? ps: the structure is a lumber yard. thanks john Reply Subscriber & Member Login Login, or register today to interact in our online community, comment on articles, receive our newsletter, manage your account online and more!
