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.


Finished and in service…

This new acquisition is now finished and in service on the layout. I used washes on this guy, several colors of acrylic paints on the underside plus several pigment colors for the built up grime, and used three different rust mediums on the roof to achieve this effect. The darker areas between the panel ribs was done with a sharpened No 2 pencil. Finally, as shown, ACI plates were added. Amazing what can be done with an older Athearn blue box kit!
