E-paw's EOY challenge.

[e-paw]

I have started the weathering processes on this engine. For something like this I start with my airbrush. I applied thin coats of grimy black, browns. tans , and other rust colors to simulate rust, grime, sand, and break-dust on the model. As you can see I think I got a little too boisterous on one part of the tender with the sand and break-dust stains. I'll fix that latter. once this dries fully I'll add washes with a brush to the engine to bring out details. Here's a few pics of the first stage of weathering.
