Go through Red Hook in Brooklyn and you will see weathering just like the one on your building.

 

Steven, I think that looks great, I too love the weathering job,
my best,

indeed. awesome weathering!

Now tell us how you did it?

 

a wash with matt black, dab and rub it downwards with paper towl (rubbing fingers is handy to)and then dry brush with redbrown.
paints i used tamiya acrilics.
thats it, thid building took me a few (3) hours to weather, i go slow and add little by little bits of paint.

well the three hours paid off. It looks great

 

Great building. I really like the brick ones in back. Any images of your other buildings?

Nicely done. Reminds me of some of the grittier neighborhoods around Boston.

 

:thumbs_up::thumbs_up::tb-biggrin:JOB!

 

Nice Job...:thumbs_up::thumbs_up:

 

Your weathering on the buildings is very prototypical!

 

You've got that rite; between the Salt water off the ocean , and the pollution of Brooklyn. Nice job on the weathering job, and I'm sure the layout will offer lots of fun.

 

well thanks for all the good comments guys.
my little switching layout is set in some fictive harbor area (somewhere were north america and european mainland meet).
the article from conductorjonz in nscale magazine really got me going on this.(so thanx to you for the inspiration and the good advice you already gave me!)

there will be lots of questions in the next coming weeks cause i still have a lot of firsts to go through (in 28 years lots has changed hehe)
-laying flextrack
-balasting and weathering track.
-wiring for dcc
etc

once again thanx for all the help
