Videos: Five ways to weather
Fantastic. The videos really great. Watching someone else doing these projects really makes me jump in and give it a try. Thank you for producing them. It really helps.
Very informative videos on different ways to weather.
very informative, picture of a thousand words, things that were available in my wife’s cosmetics box throwaways and good used brushes. What a great idea without spenting so time driving around when it’s right there in your own house and hopefully …some may have an airbrush!
I have read numerous articles on weathering, but nothing beats watching an expert actually showing the techniques! Great set of videos.
Cody, great article, but I have a question. On page 31, the last thing you did after weathering the hopper was to spray a “Gloss Finish in preparation for decaling” yet the previous instructions indicated that the car was already decaled, even the photos indicate this. So what gives?
Which one would you recomend?
Thanx for posting these video demonstrations/lessons. I have read all about these techniques but I was a bit shy to try them; however, now that I have seen how-to-do them I shall gladly give them a shot.
Cody I just watched video for the new UP City Train and this question is probably more for David Popp. I noticed that there are fluorescent lights above the layout which I have always thought wash out the true colors. However, this is not the case with your videos. I am planing on replacing the lights in my basement and was wondering if you could tell me what type of bulbs you guys using in your over head light fixtures?
Excellent.
Clearly, actually showing the technique, instead of describing it in words with a few pictures is highly effective. Anyone who watches these can go immediately to their workbench and apply them with good results!
When useing pastel sticks or chalk, A Farberware rind grader with a 8 oz. catch cup, found in the kichen wear dept, will beat a hobby knife any day of the week when shaving a pastel stick or chalk for weathering.
great tips cody
Really enjoyed watching Cody’s paint videos!!!
Have tried & will try some of his suggestions…
Great, keep up the good work!
Good videos! Well done! I’d like to see some on grafiti, that would be cool.
I may weather a car but I will never apply “grafitti” to anything. There’s too much of it in real life.
Cody does a great job on those frieght cars, and makes me want do the same thing with mine. When I get the courage to do it myself.
Looking for information on removing decals from a commerical passenger car. What is your method of choice?
Thanks You answered all of my questions in those f short videos.
I totally agree…I have 9 cases of railroàd rolling stock (Car Case - Axian type) for N scale. Only one has vandal-type graffetti on it. All others have regular weathering on them. I run steam from 1930 to present diesels.
Um, do the creators of the videos ever answer the questions posed in the comments?
