QUOTE: Originally posted by Roadtrp You're right... I was probably thinking of heavy weathering. What triggered my little rant was looking at the Franklin & South Manchester layout in the current MR magazine. The layout is BREATHTAKING, and if I ever have 1/2 of 1% of the skill that George Sellios has, I will be a happy man indeed. But absolutely EVERYTHING in that layout looked like it was coated with grime. I just couldn't believe that there wasn't one clean building or automobile or anything in the towns he was modeling. I guess I felt that even when you are modeling the 30's & 40's, SOMETHING must have looked good back then. [:)]

I applied patel colours as powders to my box cars, and then Testors Dull Coat. When the DC had dried, there was little sing of thte pastel colours. What happened? Does this happen for you? What to do? BTW, the same thing happened with just plain dust and ashes. These are fine particles I'm dealing with. Thanks. If pastel chalk dissapears after you dullcote, you must re-chalk the area again. And dullcote that again. You keep doing this until you build up enough to be seen when your done. Cause one layer of chalk sealed with dullcote has very little effect on a model surface. [:(]
