Not too much time lately for modeling. I did have a free day this weekend, so, to the basement!
Today's project: weathering an Atlas Master Silver Series GP40-2 in the red and blue Grand Trunk livery.
The process was a straightforward weathering project. I began by disassembling the locomotive and washing it with water and mild dish detergent. The windows and number boards were masked and the shell received a light airbrushing with a wash of dust to dull the bright colors. After masking the trucks they received a light treatment with chalks and powders, as did the fuel tank.
Weathering on the hoods is simply weathering powders with a few drops of burnt umber artists oils pulled down with a brush to create rust.
