take a look!!
Great job! [:)][:D]
The variations from locomotive to locomotive look great too as far as the weathering and body details.
[1] What techniques did you use for your weathering?
[2] What brand did you use for detailing parts? (Details West? Cannon?)
It was a good idea posting these photos. Other modelers can use these as a guide as well! [swg][tup]
Peace out and God Bless!
thanks you,
I use Pastle chalks, and Poly scale paints, but 90% of it is all Chalks.
i use Mostly DetailsWest, but i also use D.A., Cannon,Utah Pacific,A-line, ll are great parts to use, the grabs on the Kato unit are all custom bent Metal ones, i can stand plastic grabs, the only ones i seem fit to like are P2K’s.
thanks again!
Very nice job !
I never tried chalks to weather but I think I should now give it a try.

yeah the chalks work great, but take time to get use to. and they wont hurt the paint if you ever want to wash it off.
Very nice, 9899!!! Wish I could learn how to weather like that. I give it 10 thumbs up!!![:)]
thank you 4884!!
Did you use anything to keep the chalks from wiping off?
like hairspray or somthing?
I never Dullcoat them, because i never know if i want to wa***hem, or weather them more.
I have been using chalks for wheathering for ages and in my experience they get fixed rather well to the surface of the locomotive/car provided it has been cleaned thouroughly beforehand. I found that spraying afterwards almost oblitarates the chalk. I never touch the chalked locomotive/car with my bare hands. I have a pair of white cotton gloves that I use when chalking and these have become so saturated with chalk that when I use them picking up a locomotive/car there are no touchmarks visible.
