still working on the shed which is going slowly so in the mean time decided to have a go at weathering
the subject
first tested out some dust affects after a spray of dullcote the left half of the boxcar got painted with polly scale dust paint the right half got a dusting with AK pigments light dust
the paint doesn't appear to have done anything apart from a white line across the bottom edge, but the pigment worked very well. next some rust using tamiya's weathering master set b
i just smeared it on then touched up a couple of parts with burnt umber arcylic paint to look like heavy rust.
then my wife asked me why i was putting makeup on my trains and said she
could get exactly the same set as the tamiya in a 99p shop!
