So, to start of my modelling in the New Year I decided to try my hand at lightly weathering a box car. I did this while I was away with work in the hotel room - it's a good way to pass what would otherwise be a boring night! I used MiG weathering powders. I decided against rust spots on the side as I felt this would make it look too worn out, which was not the image I was going for for this, my first attempt (personally, I find it easier to heavily weather a model than to apply light to medium weathering).
Thoughts on this model so far would be really appreciated. How can I improve this? I am thinking some graffiti? Or, perhaps a patch the owners painted on to cover-up some graffiti? For example, something like the first image on this link: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://railroadstrains.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/nokl-571121-single-plug-door-boxcar.html">http://railroadstrains.blogspot.co.uk/2 ... oxcar.html</a><!-- m -->
Or the second image on this link: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://railroadstrains.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/pdrr-boxcar-single-door-railcars-pee.html">http://railroadstrains.blogspot.co.uk/2 ... s-pee.html</a><!-- m -->
