Thanks for a GREAT "How I did it" weathering video. You have some great techniques. As always, "less" is invariably more. And every car is different. Two things to remember in weathering: sunlight is the mortal enemy of any coating system, and rust never sleeps!

Nice job on the weathering Joey. I like the variation in cars too - they don't all weather exactly the same.

I just created a new Save category for the best modeling videos. I don’t want to lose this one. Thanks.

👍 good job

Nice video, great workmanship, helpful hint you might not know, Crayola makes a brown felt-tip marker that fits perfectly in the wheel about the same colors what you made up that way you don't have to pull out all the paints and get the same effect and dry time is quicker just thought I'd pass it along. Again great video in great work

Thanks! I didn't know that about Crayola, good tip

Nice job on the boxcar weathering! The steps you do are quite similar to mine and I've had positive results too. I've gotten to enjoy weathering and I also do my own Graffiti. You know how some Boxcars look like a Red color from fading? Here's a tip for color choices, I use Anita's True Red Acrylic mixed with Anita's Earth Brown with water as a wash. But only do this after airbrushing white w isopropyl alcohol. Anyways, your boxcar turned out great and I definitely like it! Thanks again for sharing this video with us along with your PRICELESS time and effort! Cheers from Delmar, Delaware.

Thanks, there are some good budget friendly airbrushes that do a good job. NEO for Iwata w/ included compressor is a good first buy. It was my first and I still use the airbrush, just with a different compressor now.

Fantastic! Not over done like some. Love it! Definitely will try some of these techniques.

Very nice. Normally, when I'm painting the trucks, I stick little pieces of painters' tape to mask off the cavities where the wheelset bearing ends go. Any overspray onto the back of the far side of the truck is kept off the bearing surfaces that way. I use acrylic paint markers to just swoop around the front faces of the wheels, again to keep paint off the axle ends. I just squirt a bit of powdered graphite in each cavity when assembling the trucks. I like the way you used the chipping technique on the roof. Thanks for an informative video.

Something I am going to try instead of tape on the inside of the trucks is to just put an old plastic wheelset in it. Doesn't matter if paint gets on that wheel.

0:51 I've seen oodles of freight cars that look like the one on the right. You did an excellent job of making that one look realistic.

New to the channel, thanks so much for sharing your weathering tips.

Great Video, great results! Thanks for sharing your work and techniques!

Interesting tips. Thanks for the video.

I also have those alligator clips too,I mounted mine on 5/16 dowels cut at lengths of 6" & 12". Another good tip I have is to save those paper towel cardboard inserts,as they're are quite handy as model holders with those one piece model shells,just flatten one end of the tube and stick it inside the rail car or locomotive shell, they'll hold it firmly while you are painting even upside down in most cases then place the whole thing in a glass jar or something heavy enough to hold it while it dries,then move on to the next step without worrying about handling the model..👍

Thanks! Everyone has their personal taste, for sure. I model a specific year, so I try to weather the car based on its labeled build date.

Well done, those are huge compared to N scale which I model.

I grind up number 2 pencil lead into a powder and use it on trucks and wheels, or like you did, on anything you want the shoe ware.

The finished cars look fantastic! How long did you let the oil washes dry before your next step?

@JoeyBPhotography

Жыл бұрын

This process took place over the course of several days (busy home life), so it varied. Sometimes I'd apply the wash then have to get up and see what the kids were arguing about, or run an errand. You can speed the process up with a hair dryer set to low and it'll be good to go in 5-10 minutes for a light wash over the whole thing. That's what I'll be using when I go through my "production line" process when I do the remaining 8 to speed it up. The key is make sure its absolutely dry otherwise the next thing you do will smudge (take a guess how I know lol). I apply dullcote after every wash as well.

Great tutorial! Thanks for posting. Going to try this on some N scale boxcars. Can you share where you had your custom decals done?

@JoeyBPhotography

Thanks. I prefer the transparency of the oil washes. When I tried acrylic washes I'd always get tide marks when it dried that were a pain to deal with for me. Plus I've loved the smell of linseed oil ever since my college days when I used to oil paint lol

I was just wondering how to get graffiti on a locomotive and cars when I am not artistic ??

Жыл бұрын

You can get graffiti decal sheets. I don't personally put graffiti on my cars, but if I did, I'd probably practice on hand painting them on old junker cars first, or even just on random pieces of plastic, etc. If you don't feel artistic, you can always just copy what you see in photos (which is where I'd start as well)
