I'd much prefer to be Yogurt.

These are N scale E-R Models RF16 sharks. I added Gold Medal Models' PRR Trainphone antennas to the A unit. The biggest challenge in weathering was to make the far-too-green looking factory paint look more like PRR Brunwick Green (DGLE) without obscuring the lettering. I added layers of Brunswick Green wash very carefully. When that was done I airbrushed the frame and lower sides with some road grime. I also greased-out the silver grills with a dark black wash.
This is what they looked like new:

The cars in the first post, The Walthers Gon and the NKP gon were done in the interiors with the Antiquing solution.This is Sophisticated Finishes. Neutrino, those gondolas are rusty! How do you do that??

Is this a replica of the trailer you live in ? I'd like to do that with my house someday. Nice conversation starter......

Did you use the antique finish product on the "OUTSIDE" of the car as well? You've convinced me to give a try at weathering with this product on a few gondolas I have. I am a noobie when it comes to weathering. I've used the chalk, air brush, & india ink ONLY tools. Never anything else.
Here is a picture of where my current weathering talents lie. I'll admit the india ink stain looks horrible. NOt realistic at all. This caboose was painted by me as well to reflect the original. I am truly a beginner
Caboose with BLI engine. Engine NOT weathered. Too scared too....
I like the gouache comment. He he. Read the dictionary term when you and aggro had a little spat.

Speechless.... For not using metal handrails they sure look convincing. I see u spent some time on the trucks too.

Thanks Keith. It takes some experimentation and we all know where that leads us...
I found that thinning it with about 1/3 distilled water and using sponges to apply it gave pretty good results. I do it in small batches because it is loaded with Iron and besides strong bodies, it makes a great example of how oxydation takes place in nature, and your vessel.
You're doing some cool things with that stuff! Awesome Gons!

Different car, same approach.

Trying to keep up with Keith.
