Model Railroad VLog: Weathering Rolling Stock using Chalk: Part 1

[SteveSabbai]

...can you use childrens sidewalk chalk? they have these at the 99cent stores...

[thebige61]

@SteveSabbai I don't wee why it wouldn't work. Try it out on a cheap car and see how things turn out.

what kind of sand paper would i need to make the right kind of powder for weathering my rolling stock? where did you buy your chalk? Great video! They really help!

[thebige61]

@MrDiscovery1267 I think it was 100 grit sandpaper. I got the chalk at Hobby Lobby

[tjmfishing]

thanks a lot. I just watched this and it worked great, but I still have to seal it. Instead of sanding the paint I scraped graphite pencil lead off with a razor blade and put it on with a brush and then rubbed it in with my finger. It looks like heavy grime in thicker spots and dulls the paint everywhere else like the sun would. You should try it!

@TheDancingSaxophone Sorry, But you have to much time on your hands to post that. Who gives a flying fu## do you just go online and post stupid shit on everyones comments. Dud dont even comment on shit you have nothing say about. 2 years ago. WOW.

[TheDancingSaxophone]

@JCLIVININIQUITY6 You're right, on second thought I miss the thirteen seconds it took to post my comment. I REALLY wish I could have them back.

[bullriderfxxx]

will any kind of chalk work?

[thebige61]

Well...I suppose if you had the right colors. I've never tried it so I can't say for sure. You could try things out on a really cheap car to see if it works.

this video was good

why cant i see the video gm

[helloween1987]

but that technique can be used in any scale right??? Im asking before making a mess lol

[thebige61]

Yup!

[Traindude37]

can you use woodland scenics 'scenic cement' to seal the chalk on the rolling stock

[thebige61]

Nooooooooo. It's too thick in consistency. It would really make a mess of your car.

[thetreeregimovies]

lol Nooooooooooooooooo. (please dont ask why i think thats funny. This comment will now self-destruct)

[NorfolkSouthern9708]

KABOOM!!!

[gtc1961]

I've used Testor's Dullcote in the past. It does tend to lighten the chalk a bit but it does protect it from thumb prints.

[disturbedrocker1]

what scale is that?

[thebige61]

N scale

[thebige61]

Dry Brush. I probably forgot to mention it.
