Weathering Model Train Cars #3: Patching & Fade With Airbrush

visit: http://modelloursworkshop.blogspot.com & http://afv-news.com

i am giving you a run through (how-to) of how i weather my rollingstock. first i pick the load out of the cars. then i fade the loads and railcars down to make them look worn down. i use acrylic paint and my airbrush to do this but it can also be done using regular brushes. for the basic weathering i use oil paints mixed with orderless petroleum. the advantage of using oil paint is that it never really drys. as long as you done clear-coat it you can always apply more petroleum and work with it. last step is to do some rust using dry and wet pigments...

Some comment about what is happening would be useful, eg what he is painting, what paints, what airbrush, what pressure, what diluent, why the masking and with what ....need I go on?

And the background (or should that be foreground) music is obtrusive.
