First step: I sprayed a light gray-tan wash over the entire sheel to tone down the paint.
Second step: Oil paint washes with mineral spirit.
Third step: Oil paint to make rust patches and streaks.
Fourth step: Grimy black wash sprayed over the roof.
Fifth step: Pastel chalk (different colors) & Dullcoating. Repeated a few times to get the right look.
I did go easy on dusting. I have picture of these real three engines and except the greasy MLW-Alco look, they were quite clean in this aspect.
Trucks were weathered with airbrushed acrylic washes. Three different colors ranging from grey, tan & rust. Details were drybrushed and dusting done with pastel chalk again (not sealed to keep the fresh look).
