Some Weathering, first try.

[Twist]

Hi there,
I think I´ve never posted some pics of my first steps in weathering some rolling stock. I have doe a lot of weathering on larger scale models like cars,Trucks and some 1:35 tanks but the H0 things are new to me. I use pastels,oilpaints,pigments and other things, airbrush and paint brushes ans some other tools.
So I started with and Roundhouse 50ft boxcar kit. Here are some before and after pictures. Airbrushed with some diluted white paint for fading the green and the added some rustspots with a fine brush. used some pigments and a soft brush after that.






I don´t have filled the holes in the roof and haven´t done any details . It´s sitting on the started build shelf since that time. Will do some more work on that someday.

My next try was an Athearn 50ft double door boxcar. The material and tools are the same on that model.


Faded the paint a little bit with a light grey wash

Painted some areas of the roof with burnt sienna oil paint and added some MIG rust pigments in different tones.

added some scratches and rust spots with a fine brush and then sprayed a light dust on the lower part of the shell with diluted Valejo light grey

the other side looks better in my opinion


I´ll post some pictures of my 40ft PGE boxcar later.
Any comments are very appreciated.

Thanks for looking,
Regards,Chris
