Derelict pickup trucks - cnrglen - 09-11-2022
A friend gave me a Roco Dogdge and Atlas Ford F-150 pickups to weather . They were both CP rail company trucks.
The Ford F-150
And the dodge
I began with giving both trucks a light spray of vintage white to make the bright yellow look faded. then I masked and sprayed the Dodge's passenger door blue and patch painted the CP Rail logo on the driver's door. The Chrome bumpers and front grills got a light overspray of Grimey black to make them look like tarnished chrome. I then rusted the two out using tube acrylic paint, burnt Umber and Burnt sienna, dabbing on the colors with a very small brush. The last thing I did was to overspray both with Vallejo dirt to tie the weathering elements together.

WOW! very impressive, Glen
Both look GREAT, very believable, I'm a Ford guy, so that one is my fav
. I do admit, the rust and replaced door on the Dodge was WELL DONE!
