QUICK & DIRTY FREIGHT CAR WEATHERING

This is a basic weathering technique, using just one product so you can get rolling stock on your layout without it looking like shiny plastic. It can either by your level of weathering or a first step to be visited later when you improve your techniques. With Doug Foscale of Fos Scale Models.

I have learned so much from people like you 😊 thanks again.

[@NewHavenRails]

Great technique! Thanks for sharing!

[@Grainexpress]

Great video Doug! My philosophy is when it’s rolling down the track with many other cars no one will notice a “mild” weathering job vs one that took weeks to finish. It is all about time allocation on a layout. I would rather spend that time on structures. 😉

thanks doug !

[@tonybasile58]

I will def try this method
Thanks for the video

Thanks Doug!

[@tythomas1991]

Thank you for giving me another idea. I have a way for rust but not really dirty a grimy. I'll have to play with a chap car and see how it goes

[@Kevin-ev7hw]

Thank you for the tip!

[@mariadolores8468]

Cool

[@peanutskustomz2466]

This is great but I prefer Vallejo paints or apple barrel paints they work great for me.

If you use poster colors they have no binder so when your done they can be washed off. I used this technique in Hollywood a lot because some times I would have to age someone car or property and it is necessary to return it as was when they let us use it. You can add a little dish soap for a temporary binder so it doesn't wipe off when they touch it

Hey Doug,
Ya' weren't lyin' 'bout your weathering skills. YUCH!
You should consider, next time, one of FosScales numerous modeling partners to do a guest shot for you.. Like Jason Jenson. Even I'm not as good as Jenson. And I've been weathering for over 50 years.
What I would love to see you do is first do various FosScale (or Craftsmen) models in a mash up style. Second, I would love to learn, from a pro, how to compose three demential structures and copy them to CNC machines or 3D Printers.
But thanks for the attempt anyway.
Jim

[@markdeschane4467]

yes, when you spend $35.00 to $50.00 for an HO scale Freight car, you want a pretty fool proof way to Weather!!!

It looks nices but if u work with water colours u be much better

[@davegink9222]

Oil paint gives you a much longer working time.

[@MrVbobby]

@@davegink9222 You can get extender or even glaze coat made for water colors

[@154Colin]

With all due respect I think you should stick to structures.
