Well done. I love how subtle the paint marker is on the wheels

Wow that's smart putting on the roof and having it fall. I will have to try that. Great work!

omg you are so freeking smart putting it on the roof and then having it fall down on to the sides Definitely will be trying this

This is the very best weathering video I haved ever seen! :D

I enjoy how everyone does it slightly different but all coming out intriguing. Or intriguing to me.🚂🚃🇨🇦

I am glad you enjoyed the video. I have to admit that i tend to mix what ever powders I have until I get a colour I like. That way the weathering isn't the same on every model.

One of the best weathering videos I have seen , will be trying this out .......Peter

I’ve been looking for some weathering techniques for my German Sturmpanzer A7V model and it is for a school project and I no experience with washes and that and so I found this video and works really well. I’ve made a diorama on the German Spring Offensive In Roye, France 1918. It will be my third diorama and Ive Beine using new techniques like using foam and clay. But I accidentally melted large portions of the foam when I sprayed varnish to seal the clay which was cheap Chinese’s stuff that kept cracking. I made large holes in it which kinda look like artillery craters. So I kept them and painted the model in different shades and brown and then sprayed diluted PVA and sprinkled sifted dirt and Then sprinkled some grass stuff and put trees and bushes and about to put my A7V on. thanks for the video

Thankyou for your kind comment.

I've found that eye shadow make-up from the Dollar Tree store works better than weathering pastel chalks. Since it is make-up it sticks a lot better than chalk. Plus the fact that it only costs $1.00, which in my book, is very cheap. I use the earth tones which range from light brown to dark earth.

Awesome video. Go to my fav videos list.

Easy way to get started for beginner thank you

Thanks Dave

this seems much easier and less messy than using a lil paint brush and testors paint, like i did way back in the 9o's. Never did the airbrush thing either, having to deal with smelly paints/thinners and extra equip. Ya dont need much to achieve a realistic effect...thanx for the tutorial

just an FYI these are from my home state and they sit in a siding at the Ford plant in Durand, Michigan. They are VERY weathered.

Love the KISS way for model rr

Great video....really enjoyed it. What colours did you mix to get the dusty colour?

could you tell us what make of powders you use please, it was a great how to video, many thanks for sharing it with us.

Very good. I want to try weathering powders, bt i tend to use dry brushing method. I have some vids showing my outcomes, hav a look and advise lol

Me too! ;)

have you found any issues with conductivity after using the chalks regularly?

I would recommend you spray it in matte clear before applying the powders for more of it to stick

Nice demo Gyruss!, I also can't figure out why the UK hasn't gone over to auto couplers? Even down here we went to knuckles in the late 70's- 80's! Thanks for the tips mate! Cheers Gregg:-)

Thanks for your comment. I may do another video later when I show the dunking method of weathering and will have a go at dry brushing too. Thanks again.

Nicely done !...Hairspray ??...HMMM....Cheaper maybe then a MATTE Medium I suppose...never tried it ...might give it a go . Thank you for sharing

Thanks mate. Check out my rust weathering video too. The weathering powder is a mixture depending of what I have available. As long as it looks right.

One tip (mostly for the viewers) from my friend, Carmine, a master modeler..... Firstly, Gloss Clearcoat will make the model 10x harder for the weathering powders to adhere! Also, spraying a Clearcoat of ANY kind, *after* you're done weathering, will almost certainly wash out all of your hard work indeed!! MAYBE a very light dusting of paint, from a good distance..... but that should be it. ;-) If you are going heavy on the weathering, you really want to spray the entire car(wagon) with Testors Dull-Cote, or other QUALITY hobby grade flat clear spray paint. Reason to be specific is, something like a Krylon, or some off brand, store brand flat clear paint will almost ALWAYS leave a film or hazy patina over the model, that will likely ruin the finish. The reason FOR the Flat clear paint is simply - it creates a microscopic layer of coarse and slightly absorbent surface. Then, even old, very light colours, or even dried out weathering chalks, will have a great surface to really "bite" into the model. The chalks will also have much better, longer lasting coverage, using less product. (LESS money!!) Also, premium weathering powders (Bragdon's, Humbrol, Dave's) have additives that allows the chalk to stick much better than basic types.... But they also cost nearly Double! Continue on Sir.... You're doing a great service to the Hobby!

Can you list the paint pens you used, maker and colour, and the weathering powder as well? Cheers, Jeff

🎉🎉🎉

Would you recommend spraying something like Testors Dull Coat when done with the powder? If it will be handle somewhat often. Your car looks great 👍

I like how easy this looks. Does the powder stick pretty good or will it start to come off when the car is in a box after a while?

Hi, I usually spray the hairspray after the application of powders but remember to use only a small amount.

Could you ( or have you in a different video) shown how to spray with hairspray? At least type of hairspray?

Nice. How do you fix the powder? Can you use an acrylic lacquer like Tamiya clear coat?

@GYRUSS

AESCULAPTORmark3 As long as you use a minimal amount of the spray you should be okay. One spray pas over the model. Let dry and then another very minimal spray will do it. I think on this model I used hairspray which is good because over tim it adds another level of weathering.

Hi, it doesn't much matter what powder you use. They do the same job. The powders I use are the cheapest ones from the hobby shop. There are other brands from military model suppliers Vallejo which I like but are quite expensive. Great for small models but when you have a line of freight cars to weather it becomes expensive. I hope that's helped.
