Thanks…I’m a little too under the weather at this moment, to try to sound coherant, about using the ZOHO WRITER method of sending out text and pix…I came across it by total accident, and was so pleased to find such an easy way to write out something, then sock photos right in the story, where you want them.
Even better: when you email that LINK they provide, to share the item, it can have LOTS of photos, yet only take up some tiny space as an email.
I’ve never given thought to teaching myself how to create a full WEBSITE (maybe ONE day) but the main thing I’d want one for, is to be able to share little stories and pictures like this ZOHO site allows for, for free, and with VERY little hassle or know-how.
As to the weathering “method”—as mentioned in the article, its mainly just taking a very cheapo paintbrush, like from a kid’s set, and jamming it around on those tempera cakes of watercolors…then slopping it on the model.
You can’t put “too much on” as a simple wipe takes it all OFF. The ONLY problem would be if you accidentally dropped a model in the toilet or something, in which case, you’d lose your “artwork” and have to start over. {So, I guess mentioning not doing weathering in the bathroom, is a given, right?}
My wife, who calls what I do “playing with choo-chooze” to give you an idea of her true feelings for the hobby, got sucked into how much fun it is to weather stuff.
I gave her an Athearn tuscan red stock car, explaining what it “does” and how it can be expected to be “pretty crappy looking” (a more polite expression than I really used.) She spent about two hours trying to depict manure and other stuff that may have gotten stuck both to the inside floor, and especially the lower half of the railcar itself…feeling quite proud when she was finished.&n
