    So far so good. Nothing over the top. Just basic weathering. I can dig it.

      I tend to stay away from really heavy weathering. Every once in a while, but it’s the exception not the norm. Another reason I like modeling the 80s. Most rolling stock wasn’t covered in rust (or graffiti).

    Hi Joe, nice subtle job, you're quite the artist.

    In recently bought this exact car. Got a whole lot of cars to weather so this is a good video.

      Glad you found it helpful. Good luck with your own weathering effort!

    Awesome! Very neat techniques. Speaking about cleaning the pan pastels off the rust spots with something wet, I found some q-tips in the cosmetic area of a store that were a bit stiffer than regular q-tips and come to a point that's strong enough to wet and scrub off small areas such as your rust spots. Also strong enough to use for paining fine lines which a toothpick is good for as well. Great video. 👍

      I will have to look for those. Probably would have been easier than the tiny microbrush I was using.

    Great techniques. I really enjoyed it. I think you got your car very close to the photo 👍

      I think so, too, with a little artistic license. More to come on this car.

    I enjoy the fact you're not making a total rustbucket. Rail cars do have an amazingly long life span. In point of fact, I saw a PENN CENTRAL jade green covered hopper in a UP train the other day. The name PENN CENTRAL was pretty faded, but still legible.
    I like your technique. Very subtle goes a long way.

      Other photos I saw of the prototype cars show the roof definitely being blue. So it was some sort of fading going in.

    Great job but you kinda left us hanging without a parting shot of the car with what it looked like so far.

    I looked up how to pronounce Phthalo Blue. Replace all those consonants, and replace them with an F. Fālō Blue.
