In this post I’ll show an older car I’ve had for some years on the old layout that I decided to rework and weather, then keep in the fleet. This car I believe is an older Roundhouse model with a tie load. This car started out as shown below:

First off, the tie load was reworked using stains by Hunter Line, then the interior of the gon was airbrushed with Vallejo rust color acrylic. I also painted and weathered the underside which previously wasn’t touched with a grimy black/ brown mixture.

The body of the car was faded as well, with rust spots and areas applied with either a tiny sponge and/or brush. Finally, the car was lightly airbrushed with Vallejo dirt color paint, then sealed. Photos below of the finished car:
