I have been busy doing some weathering. I have done four cars so far, all pictured. The photos were taken when it was dark outside so I apologise for their poor quality.
Thoughts so far on weathering - I am happy with my efforts so far, at both light and heavy weathering. I have still got some work to do learning how best to blend the powders to achieve specific affects however. Still, that will come with practice. But I am happy with efforts to add light dirt and rain streaks. Next I intend to do some graffiti tags...in model form of course! I also need to add a little more weathering to the bogie trucks of the three most recent cars (pictured) - they are not dirty enough yet. I realised this when I had a close look at them on the layout in their "natural" setting.
I have also begun work on putting up the security fence around the corn syrup unloading facility. Finishing that will be this coming weekend's task.
