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.


And one more detail today….

One final detail I added to the layout this evening was the addition to the guy wire for the pole line. You see these everywhere where there are what I call guy wires or support wires for a pole line of wires, I assume as a warning to pedestrians or whoever might get tangled up in these.

For this quick project I took 3/32″ tube by Evergreen, cut a piece off to hopefully what I think was near scale, then used some surgical scissors to cut down the middle of the tube. I then took a thin file and kind of enlarged the cut all the way down so as to just be able to slide the tubing over the EZ Line that I used. The final step was to airbrush this using Vallejo yellow ochre paint, then seal. Here’s the finished result:
