Wow! The finished model looks real! Incredible work. Thank you for sharing your techniques with us.

For me, this is one of the best video that you’ve put out! I really enjoyed the voiceover explanation of your techniques and materials used. I hope you create more videos just like this one. These are the kinds of videos that gets me motivated to try something new. Again, great video! Keep up the great work.

The goal is to try to make this style of content for weathering. I got tired of the on the spot explanation coupled with a tripod between my legs and between me and the subject. These are much easier to edit and breakdown.

Bob Ross eat your heart out.. lol crazy good work Dan! So jealous!

Got to say. Your videos are always great but this one may be your best. Your explanations are precise and the demonstration of technique is superb. Plus the car looks friggin awesome

Kinda looks like an old ex-Southern hopper i did. Great work

Dan, your videos are always helpful and informative but this one was absolutely amazing. Every technique was clearly explained and demonstrated. So many questions answered. Thank you so much.

Excellent explanation of all the techniques involved. I will be watching this again, probably several times. Stunning car.

Dan ,you made that look very easy,iam gonna try and get into weathering my own stock,so I will definitely be looking at more of your work for advice,so thanks for sharing,john from uk

Its always fun to watch an artist at work. I believe you may be the Bob Ross of model railroad artistry.

This looks like so real. The finish car had me guessing what was the model and the real train car. Nice job!

Great video on your creative process thanks for sharing - new to the hobby. New sub

Awesome job Dan!! Great tutorial.

I always learn from your videos Dan! Expert results speak for themselves!

Awesome weathering video Dan. The results speak for themself. The oil paints give a nice effect. I might have to pick some up. - Nicholas.

Dan, you’re the man!!!! That’s absolutely incredible!!!! I truly appreciate the step by step process you demonstrate. Makes me belittle I could pull that off. Kind regards, Erik

Superb tutorial mate!

nice work Dan.

Another incredible job by the Incredible Dan the Weathering Master!!!

that is absolutely superb!!!

Excellent as always.

[thank, you for you're great video]👍

Beautiful work, the photos at the end look real!

You are really talented! Its a pleasure to watch you work and the result is stunning

Turned out great! Thanks for sharing the whole process, gave me some ideas for sure

Really nice job, thanks for showing. I have a covered hopper I think I'll try some of this on.

thanks Dan for this. Your weathering vids are the best!!

Wow….. how are you so good at that!!! Amazing job!

Fantastic work! 😎👌

This is the first video i’ve watched of yours. its very well done and I loved every second of it. Keep up the good work!!!

Awesome tutorial and the result looks really good. Just subscribed.

You do amazing work!!!!

Great how to video.

Amazing, man

Amazing

Amazing, great 👍👍👍

Nice work! Nice voice-over, too -- did you get a new mic or something? Or is it just that you recorded the voice-over separately? Either way, it worked really well!

Yup, I record a voice over while watching the edited video and then paste the audio over the video segments. When I record this style of video, I do not speak. It's easier so I can pay attention to what I am doing.

Do you know you’re doing something right when you can take an incorrect chessie Intermountain 4650 hopper and make it look like a 4600 ACF Hopper because of the weather it is so good! Damn!!

Amazing !!!

Great job as al always. You consistently give me great ideas. One thing I use when going for oil streak effects is a grainer brush. Have you ever tried one? Once again, keep up the great work and I’ll look foreward to your next video. 😁👍

Looking at the finished photo there, I never would have believed it was a model until I watched the whole video. That's absolutely amazing! You have inspired me to try this on some cars of my own. I guess I need to get started in investing in the painting tools and a workbench. Do you have any recommendations for decals? One of the features I would like to exhibit on my collection are unique reporting marks. It's easy to get a set of boxcars, but it's nearly impossible to get a set with different numbers.

With your acrylic for the graffiti do you thin it out with or water or change the consistency at all? Every time I try to do graffiti it’s very thick and gloppy.

Hello Dan and thank you for posting all these marvelous videos. You are the Michelangelo of model trains ! Quick question. Looking at weathering a couple of UP Veranda #61 and #63 and was wondering which of your videos would be most relevant to guide me in that particular project. Thank you !!!

Dan, great work as always! What are the decals that you used?

Looks phenomenal. Who makes the yellow sil striping you use on your models? Is it peel & stick or waterslide?

Those are Western Safety brand relective safety tape. I get my rolls from Harbor Freight.

Hi Dan, I will be weathering my first cars soon (on a few cheap cars for practice at first). A couple quick questions if you don’t mind. Do you spray a clear matte coat between each of the layers shown here? And if so, how much time do you allow to dry before you matte coat, and then again before you do the next layer? Thanks!

You used dull coat over the acrylic and then over the first oil wash. What dull coat did you use. Over the acrylic I was going to use Tamiya.

Dan, beautiful work. Do you sell your weathered cars? How would I find out more about what you charge for your work?

Hi, all very nice! One of the best videos and simple to follow. Questions: 1) I have an old Single Action Airbrush from my art classes back in the 90s still good... I noticed you used one - any particular benefit? 2) What type of thinner do you use? Is it odorless? Again, all very nice... subscribing to your channel Thank You

A question, you're using isopropyl alcohol for the acrylic brush work if I'm not mistaken. Are you using the same for the Windsor Newton oils as well? You do great work Dan. I retired from CSX in December and you nailed these old cars perfectly.

When I work with oil paints on models, I'll use white spirits for the thinning and erasing parts.

What are you doing to seal these?

Thought the hopper was real from the thumbnail

what kind of air brush is that,and where did you purchase it ? i really like your vids !

Jeff it looks like he is using a Paasche model H single action airbrush. Around 50 bucks on Amazon. I use the same model.

I hate graffiti on railroad cars. Don't know why they allow it to happen. I model a time when there was no graffiti. You're weathering techniques are quite remarkable. Cheers from eastern TN

They don't "allow" it but they don't prevent it because they don't mind it. Fresh paint getting sprayed on their old cars for free.
