I should also have said I am fed up with weathering techniques, which involve air brushing. Not that air brushing isn't effective, its just I don't have one nor likely to own one. Simple techniques involving readily available items to do the weathering make a lot of sense. I think the results are as good as any and better than many. So thank you again.
HA... I thought I was the only one who felt this way about air brushing... like you said, it does have it's place but i've found that air brushing for weathering can be tricky because it's too easy to spray and give a uninspiring, blah uniform coverage.... this is great if you are painting a model one whole color... but not good if you're trying to get a random pattern like with weathering... using hand applied techniques as shown here give a more random look...
Stephen, This technique for rusting rolling stock, Locomotives, and scenery is something I have used for almost 25 years. It adds marvelous realism to the scenes. HOWEVER, I am one of those modelers who despise the use of BLACK WASH. Over the years I have used a brown wash. But I am still opposed to the use of a wash. So I have resorted to two effects: 1) When painting the first coat use the steel wool side of the sponge to rough up (distress) the surface. Then the pastels layer. Followed by a second paint layer using the GENTLER Rubber Sponge side. If need be you can repeat the process until you are satisfied with your croma hue. At this point spray a dull coat to affix any pastel which maybe lose. A less expensive way would be to abscond with one of the wife cans of Hair Spray.
@@peterrowney5180 Black Wash is NOT NATURAL. Rust is a combination of Reds and Browns. Black appears as an ugly smear. And the use of an overthined wash mix causes the smear to run where it will causing the rust to dilute and drain off the model.
Such gondola cars E or flat cars K typically are not only rusted and weathered but beaten. E.g. bowed walls, mssing stakes, old nails in the floor, remnants of goods like dirt, stones, oil. At wheels and springs there is less rust but grease. Your way to give the painting a structure is great to see. Some funny fact is that these types of cars are less prone to graffiti but sometimes get a partial painting in the repair shops.
Another great video tutorial. I make my own iron oxide from 0000 steel wool soaked in vinegar for a month. I've described this process on another one of your tutorials. I can get the exact same effects using my iron oxide. I love making deep pitting rust as you've shown here. Cheers & 73 from W Rusty Lane K9POW in eastern Tennessee
A great method for achieving a medium to light-heavy rusting on any type of unlettered rolling stock!! Would also look great on scrap piles or trucks even!! Thanks to Christoffer Johnsen and you and for sharing this method with us!!
As always another great video. I come back to your channel over and over to learn and incorporate your techniques into my fledgling layout and diorama builds. You are doing a great service to the modeling community. The number of views this video has already in a few short days is proof that you are hitting it out of the park (sorry for the baseball reference). Thanks, I look forward to your next installment...Anthony
Thank you very much for the positive feedback! It makes me very happy and gives energy for 2019 videos. All the best to you for Christmas and New Year!
I have much appreciation for the entertainment, but even more so for the education. There are thousands of modelers, and I am one of them, that build better models thanks to you and your efforts. I think one of the best ways modelers can get better is meeting with other modelers, sharing ideas and techniques, motivating each other to be better than we were yesterday. Even though we've never met, you and I are part of that modeling community, and you help me every bit as much as the guys I see each month. Thank you for helping, every time you post a new video. From my family to yours, Merry Christmas, and the happiest of New Years.
That is a very realistic and simple technique. It looks like a lot of rolling stock I see. Thanks to you and Mr. Johnsen for sharing this really useful tutorial.
Looks Great! Will definitely be trying this method and experimenting with adding another layer of paint and powders, as well as sealing with a matte clear coat instead (because I personally found the wash muddles the crusty dust rust effects a bit too much for my like). I can't wait to get my hands on and absolutely corrode them! Thank you for a great tutorial!
Fantastic technique and a beautiful result! For heavily rusted rolling stock, there is nothing better than this method - the paint chipping effect is just perfect. Thank you for sharing. Cheers! Kaustav
Not just this video, but all of your videos have premium content, loads of inspiration and are very well produced.. 👍 I’ve had a break from trains and videos on my channel for about a year now, and I think I feel inspired to get going again now.. Cheers from 🇩🇰 Denmark
You are doing good. I really like your very clear and slow speaking, so you are well to understand for people like me, not speaking english very well. I never tried to weather my engines or waggons, feared of ruining them. But your guides are good enough, so I think, I should give it a try... What do you think, is the easiest for starting weathering? A waggon or an engine?
Fantastic result! Video came out great. The OS cars are fantastic to weather.. hmm.. wondering how xfabs will do with this technique.. i'll go work on it.. Remember guys, you can use this everywhere you find rust, buildings, corrugated roofs, cranes, shiny plastic kits etc.. Have a great weekend! all the best Christoffer
I did not like the video, Marklin........I LOVED IT !!! So inventive was your Norwegian friend and I am so thrilled you made a video of it! I just want to sit at the side of the rails and watch your wonderful trains go by! Let's get small!! LOL
really awsome technique. I translated it wifh the Vallejo "thick mud" and weatering effect's "rust texture" applied on a n scale British Steel coal hopper, with the same result. I highly suggest you try those "weathering effects" and "muds" from Vallejo as they're really excellent, as well as their new metal colors & the "engines" weathering colors (both washes & paints).
Hi. Wonderful tutorial. Well , in fact all your tutorials are wonderful, specially the one on waterfalls. In this one about the rust we can see at 06:24 an incredible wooden wall. Do you have also a tutorial on how to weathering wood? Thanks a lot !
Beautifully done, thanks for sharing this technique. With the wagon looking so wonderful now, the log load now almost looks too new. I wonder how they would look with a touch of mud and dirt as well.
do you have like a video where you show you layout ? it looks really good and i always enjoy the part where we can see the finished tree or house or train,.... in the layout. Like always great tutorial keep up the good work !
I love this easy weathering method? One question, after the chalks, you said they would come off by handling but then you added the wash. Doesnt the brush take the chalk off when you put the wash on?
... wie so oft - tolles Video mit super Ergebnissen, die relativ einfach nachzuahmen sind.... freue mich auf weitere Beiträge.... viele, herzliche (Weihnachts-) Grüße nach Schweden
Very easy and authentic looking! I built a shipping container house. Every year in the dry season, I go on the hunt for rust and kill it the best that I can. On my model railroad, I can't create enough of it. I'm so confused.
Hello, in your very interesting and inspiring video there was a sequence with two coupled diesel locos. Could you please explain how you manage it that both locos have a really absolute identical rate of rotation on their drive wheels ? Or do you trust in the producer´s abilities to adjust all locos of one type absolute accurately and identically ? regards, Roland
Hi Roland! Thank you for the positive feedback! Each consist of coupled locos is made after calibration of speed at three different levels: Slow (speed step 10), Medium (speed step 35) and Fast (speed step 70). I have a straight section with a marked start and stop point and take time using a stop watch.
Hello, thank you very much for the explanation. But I do not understand it yet. To run a double or more traction unit you have to be sure that the drive wheels of all locos run exactly the same rpm at any voltage and thus speed as well. In my opinion this is only feasible with digital control, right ? Regards, Roland n.b.: I watch your videos with lots of pleasure.
Hello Martin! Yet another great video. Thanks for sharing this interesting method with us... I'll give it a try as soon as possible. Greets from Austria, Florian
Hi Mark, love the videos a great help to me. Have you thought of using actual rust instead of the pastel colours. I was wire brushing some old gate hinges and kept the rust powder, it works great 😁
Yes this will work fine for every scale. just adjust the size of the area you are covering with it. You can get great subtile result with this aswell. I've done it on 1:35. All the best, Christoffer J
Thank you Dan! I´m glad to hear you like the stuff. More is coming! There is a video being published next Friday on how to both carve and paint portals. I have a poll active right now where you can vote for the type of portals I will make in the video. There are currently only 9 votes so yours will have significant weight.

I love this easy weathering method? One question, after the chalks, you said they would come off by handling but then you added the wash. Doesnt the brush take the chalk off when you put the wash on?
Nah, just use a light touch with it and you'll be good. Christoffer.

Are the paints you use for this acrylics or oil based?
Acrylics
Okay thanks, that's what I figured but wanted to make sure anyways
Great simple techniques used. Good stuff.
Thanks George, I shall have a go using this technique, much appreciate 👍😀
Well done, Martin! I really looks rusted and grungy! Sometimes, simple is better!
As every time clear explanations and cool results, thanks a lot.
Ganz großes Kino 👍👍👍
great job,Martin,but you forgot to weather the couplings !
Hi Simon! I typically not weather the coupling, while I prioritize function. the precision mechanics of the couplings needs to be clean.
Brilliant technique finished stock looks great. 👍👍
Wow, that is a very effectie and inexpensive method! I'm going to use it on one project car right away!
Your so cool my friend! I enjoy your channel so much !
Hello! I have a question: is your super realistic corrosion method on the 1:87 scale also suitable for 1:43?
Yes this will work fine for every scale. just adjust the size of the area you are covering with it. You can get great subtile result with this aswell. I've done it on 1:35. All the best, Christoffer J
