AggroJones jasperofzeal Is this a Genesis version or blue box version (I'm assuming it's an Athearn)? I ask because I would like to know what color you used to touch up if is was a blue box. I have two blue box 50'ers with the same name to which I want to replace the side ladders and stirrups. Awesome weathering on this car (reference to the other two pics I omitted from this post). Its Athearn RTR. Good stuff. After the initial dullcoting, its given a misting of Polly S dirty white to fade. Phil as for the upper...thats working the gouache and weathering powders.

So you used an airbrush with some "dirty white" pollyscale? No alcohol to remove the "shine"? Did you also leave the original "Galveston" decal along with the other main decal?
Great Detail....
Guess I'll add my with some pics of my never ending structure series. This ones almost done. Just have to add some signage to it.And my next project.Got a few DPM's and a City Classics diner to do now.(plus about 10 others...)

"Dirty white" = reefer white with a drip of rr tie brown. No alcohol required, the dullcote adds grip to the surface for subsequent material and kills the shine.

Art, nice work on your Yardbird.
Mine was put out to pasture years ago, and Mother Nature is reclaiming her faster than the overworked shop crew:

Loathar,
Nice looking building you have there. Your buildings have a very tidy, well assembled look to them. Did that kit come with roof details? Nice work.

Thanks Corey. I'm waiting to get my whole city set up before I start any real weathering on them. Some of the details came with the kit. (water tank/shed/sky light) I also got a Walthers detail kit that's a great buy for $10. Lots of different vents and large AC units in it.http://www.walthers.com/exec/productinfo/933-3733PS- The electric meter is an Athearn bronze bearing with a rounded off piece of plastic sprue stuck through it and painted. I thought it turned out pretty good.
