I have not used oils before. I simply used Floquil grimy black and rust. My technique is to apply full strenght paint, then brush over with brush cleaner to manipulate the paint. Would using oils save a step, to achieve similar results?

Uhhhh yeah...

I think that covered hopper looks real good just as it is. The technique is simple and proved to get great results. I am not giving an 'empty" compliment either, I mean it. Great results with such a simple technique.
Hi,
Well, not an engine or freight car its weathered nontheless....
The fascia of my CNJ Bronx Temrinal portable layout, heavily weathered to look like an industrial relic...

I don't know if I listed the Railbox, but here it is. Also heres a picture of what I am working on now. I did a patch job on the numbers due to the numbers didn't match the model car. I still need to work on the skull in the upper corner again.

Thank you. [:)]
Heres the finished project. I redid the patch area, and I still might have to do a few touch ups. The underneath is dirty than in the shot.

Looking good, but it still needs something. The rust drips on the side need some added relief. Perhaps some 'rust' powder of some sort instead of looking like a paint line. I'm also thinking a final dusting on the side as well, maybe using a very light coat utilizing an airbrush. Aggrojones is the expert so hopefully he'll chime in here. Nice overall though.
Your yellow box car is very convincing. I wouldn't change a thing on that model.

That looks very convincing knowing you only used acrylics on it.

Nice.....
This is the start of my mill complex. I split the Walthers mill into two buildings by adding a wall, ramp & inside floor to the shed. I'm working on some signs & other details.

Nicely weathered. Not too overly done makes it more authentic.
Thank you,
and a steamer, my friend Peter weathered:
and this Mike was my work:
I just started weathering my models recently and have jumped in with both feet. There is A LOT of good information in this forum and also on other sites out there so I felt good knowing I could learn from others. Then there was also corresponding with a colleague who gave me that extra nudge to get over the fear of messing up... Below are two images, but one can get to more (with clickable larger ones) on my blagh at http://papphausen.blogspot.com/. Everytime I look at them I notice little details to fix, the bolts holding the rods on the steamer for instance, but all in all I'm really happy with the results. I've also started weathering cars, both freight and passenger... Every one is a learning experience, but a real enjoyable one.

Hi some of mine. Not many at our club here in South Africa weather models. How do I go about adding pics?
Can't get pics to attach to response.
You must have your pics somewhere in the web, like at your own homepage or at photobucket???.

Pictures need to be posted to a website and then linked to via the URL they have.

I love the look you've got there; its a nice even coverage. How did you do that?
anyway, heres some pictures of a hopper I did like last month or something, just using drybrushing.
I have some experience now using Bragdon powders, and have produced a few decent looking jobs... I still use paint where necessary. I wreck more brushes applying powders than I do paint, and I find that certain weathering attributes can only be achieved by one or the other. I'm getting there...
