  • Now that the new car shop is on the layout, I get on to the concrete paint and weathering. I try to hold my phone and various tools at the same time while describing my scenic techniques.

    Norm, you’re a national treasure of model railroading! We are so lucky to have someone so talented share his techniques. You’re videos are must see for all model railroaders who strive to make their own model railroad more realistic. Thanks for sharing.

    I think it really looks more realistic with the pad extended and the service road. I appreciate the demonstration Norm. The weathering is sinking the project into the surrounding area. Excellent work Norm.

    Those tips are really good and making me rethink of my road for my back side for the industrial area of my layout. Also if it's ok to ask what different scenery grass u add to the layout bc I'm thinking of adding small bits of sawdust to areas of my fine grass that I layed on my layout to add dead areas. Just gives it more realism I guess.

      It was Vallejo engine acrylic, petrol spills. AK makes similar stuff in enamel.

    Very nice Norm. What's the paint mix you are using in the airbrush?

    • @normstrains
      @normstrains  3 года назад +1

      I used Vallejo acrylic Engine Oil and ModelersDP Grimy Black straight out of their bottles @ 25psi. These colors are bit experimental for me as I prepare to find alternatives to the fast disappearing Model Masters acrylics.
