The Weathering Depot

Another project car for my fleet is now finished. This is a Walther’s Mainline series car purchased at the last train show here in my area.

I wanted to weather this but this time only lightly, enough to show some road dirt and some use but not overly done. I think I succeeded! The car was done with several layers of brown washes on the car sides and ends followed by an oil wash done with a very small brush down the sides of the ribs, followed after sealing with a lead pencil to highlight the bolt detail. The roof was sprayed with a light dirt application followed by light streaks of pan pastels. The underside was done as usual with acrylic paints followed by a wash and while still wet dabbed with powders to simulate a dirt build up. Below are photos of the car out of the box and the completed car:
