Lets see your weathering

I like the effect you get with the eraser. Could you use it to strip an entire car?

 

You certainly could. Not as good as my small media blaster but could be done with the eraser.

I especially like the treatment on that Rock Island car with the patching. Those Deluxe cars look pretty good!

 

Fantastic work there Craig , I love those Soo Cars.
Mike

 

Thanks Mike, they (SOO) must have used cheap white paint.

 

Thank God they did or they would be ugly !!!

LOL

Today Gavin was weathering a couple cars and here he is weathering his Atlas CSX 50' boxcar.
We have been coaching each other and studying Google for images.

Nice looking cars and well done Bob.

Nice work Bob, great execution and thoughtfully applied! Love the fades-beautifully done! What did you use for the cushion under frame, if anything? ESM makes a nice one that they sell from time to time, that I want to play around with on an MT Hy Cube. Craig

 

Yes, they are ESM underframes and they're very nice, especially with the BLMA trucks. Now if a couple of the promised scale size couplers would just become available....hboy:

I like to do the india ink on buildings. Some chalks for highlights.

 

Works well on that wood structure for sure.

Thanks Mike! Most if not all that I have learned to do has come from this forum. A lot of talented folks here.
