Using a very steady hand, finest point liner brush I could find, cheap royal blue mixed with white, and a little white mixed with barn red acrylic thinned down with water + few drops of hair spray.
If you mean the ‘rail r box’ , that was dullcoted and rubbed with BE yellow exactly on the lettering to make it look faded.
Thanks for the kind words.
@#% IT!
I was REALLY hopeing you were going to say decals. Now I know I have a long way to go. I was wondeirng cause they looked so good. Big the kicker though for me was how they wrapped around the ribs. Makes all the difference.
Wonderful job Aggro!!! wish i had that kind of talent!! for now i will stick to bright yellow box cars. by the way does that rail box really fit with all your SP stufff???
Aggro,
Now that is a weathered Railbox! Amazing. As always, I’m impressed. Dave
Well then, Mr. Aggro, this brings up another question. What type of brush do you use and where can it be obtained?
It isn’t the brush, it’s the brush-er.
It took a Geologic Eon for this thread to download on my poor, just-about-had-it computer, but it was DEFINITELY worth the wait. You just keep amazin’ me, my friend. Wonderful work!!

The weathering job looks great. You have a good talent. Keep it up.
Walmart. Check the art supply section for fine point and fine lining brushes. Mine cost $2 each.
Micheal’s will have similar ones, but for more money.
No. But it does demonstrate my versatility. [swg]
Very impressive work.
Could you tell us how you weathered the wheels and truck side frames? I’ve been trying for the effect you achieved but haven’t quite got there yet.
Really[^] nice, I don’t even try to weather because I just don’t do a good enough job, yours are fantastic to look at,[:)] [wow]
Looks great AggroJones.

Wheels /trucks were throughly cleaned with rubbing alcohol, dried off, then painted with a small brush using a dirty colored Floquil paint mix. Then a thin dark rust wash of acrylic was applied to the outer face of the wheel.
The weathering looks GREAT! But you need to hire some security to keep those dang graffitti vandels away from your rolling stock[:D]
Seriously-looks great dude!!!
wish i had the tallent or bottle to attempt that
exellent weathering job
Some of the great modelers were really artists using HO or O as the medium. It is what draws me and Aggro, you are an artist. Makes me wonder if you are artistic in others ways, or this is developing with MRRing.
ya you are!!! (nice scenery man!!)
Aggro, you never fail to impress me and inspire me!
In fact, had I not seen your work, I doubt i would have mustered up the courage to try my own graffiting! (though I just use gel pens, I doubt I could EVER do anything as well as your work!)
