Robby P. I guess I will add some.
Do you just eyeball your rust streaks so they are perfectly vertical?
Some people draw a line and go back over it. I just eyeball it.

Lets take it though an Accurail hopper.
Here we have the out of box kit.
First we take 400 grit sand paper and lightly scuff the lettering in a circular motion. Dry sand. Not wet here. When we're done we go over the areas again with 1000 grit sandpaper to help smooth over inperfections in the surface.
More to come later..

Unbelievable! If I didn't know it was a model I'd swear it was the real thing.
Sweet another tutorial from Aggro. Looking forward to the updates.
I am brand-new to this forum, so bear with me, guys! I think the weathering on this boxcar is great! In my opinion, it doesn't take much to overdo weathering and make the job look like a toy train with some flat paints splashed on. This car looks just right, to me. I do agree with some of the comments concerning the graffitti - there is so much on so many of the prototype rolling stock these days that a little bit would not have been out of place, but that is up to each individual modeler. I especially liked the way the paint appears to be oxidizing, with just a little bit of a white-ish sheen. I hope that I will be able to achieve that look on some of my stuff, some day. I enjoy building structures and kit-bashing, and I do some weathering on those. Is this the proper forum for structures, or primarily rolling stock? Thanks, for letting me be a part of this discussion. Kentucky Bill
Aggro - you have captured the look of thinning paint and the resulting emergence of rust on that tank car spot-on.
Waiting patiently!!!!
