Trucklovers Weathered Rolling Stock

[Trucklover]

Very useful tutorial Josh, thanks for sharing it.
I discovered that thread "by accident" ( I'm mostly interested in N scale ) .
I agree with jbaakko's suggestion, the trucks should be a little dirtier ( grimy black ! ).
I purchased some "regular" pastels but so far didn't tried that method.
So far I used acrylic and oil paints for weathering, but pastels looks like it gives a more subtle weathering.
What makes me hesitate is the high price of Bragdon Enterprises weathering powder. Is it worth it ?

Until there is a dedicated weathering subforum, wouldn't it be better if the weathering threads go into the scenery subforum as weathering is scale independent ?

Thanks Jacques

Bragdon Powders are great. I had never tried them before i bought them for much of the same reason you mentioned, the price was too high for something i could just get from a craft store. But as Val said, the powders have a Friction-Activated adhesive in them that helps them stick to the cars. I would still recomend spraying them with a coat of flat finish to seal them and prevent future handling finger prints lol

Like i said, i will not be using dullcoat on these cars, i dont like how dullcoat gives a shine to the cars, and it also takes away some of the weathering details, which is not good, also as Val said. Ill be spraying them with Floquid Flat Finish through an airbrush when i get one as Wayne mentioned in another thread
