The Weathering Depot

I have been weathering mainly HO Scale model trains since 2009 for fellow modelers and family. I specialize in freight cars, especially rust buckets. I do anything from light to heavy weathering using a variety of different mediums, sometimes three or four on a single car. I take care with models, therefore a model may take me a week plus. Please check out my work here on my page. My price varies as to how much weathering is requested. I will also for an extra labor and parts charge change out couplers and wheels. My fees and hours are on the "contact me" tab.


Next project….

Here is my next project started on and actually almost finished! This one is a Rapido car acquired recently. The car has multiple weathering mediums applied to give a caked on grimy appearance. The underside alone has three colors of acrylic paint plus pigment added. I just have to finish adding reflective strips to one side and seal, then it’s ready for eBay….

The car was weathered to simulate this prototype car:
