Nice work. Do you use the same method on buildings?

I just bought the same pack at Hobby Lobby last week. Very nice tutorial. I've been looking for something like this. What do you recommend for adding rust?

Those little chalk squares are OK for structures, but you need a little more something if you're going to handle those cars at all.
Weathering powders have an adhesive mixed it to them that makes them close to perminent. I use AIM Powders, but there are others such as Bragdon and I think Bar Mills sells a set too. Don't waste your money on chalks that will disappear after you've sealed them. All the powders are listed in Walthers web-site. Just Search for weathering powders.
Anyone who wants to learn weathering needs to get over to

Sorry, but chalks just don't cut it when you need to go heavy.
Imagine how much chalk you would have to use for these four. AIM Weathering Powders, Dull*Cote, and Microsol was used for about 95% of these cars.
Hi Mike!
Actual chalks work great in certain washes. Also mushed into oil paint. But thats pretty much it.

Great mini-article. One thing I didn't understand was the first step using "soot". Was that with a black or dark paint or chalk?
