The Weathering Depot

I’ve just received ten HO scale covered hoppers to weather for a modeler back east. Always a great feeling to have someone appreciate my work and send me multiple cars to weather! I’m always looking for work to do for modelers around the country as well. One, it gives me…

This car just arrived as well off an eBay purchase. This is an Athearn ready to roll model, one of which I’ve been looking for awhile, as I saw many of these along the numerous produce houses down along the Ohio River in downtown Cincinnati while growing up . I’ll…

Here is the finished Rapido hopper already on eBay and the next project started, this Athearn Railbox. Stay tuned as I weather this guy up for sale as well on eBay!

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…

A few changes will be coming to the website soon as I change up some things, perhaps even the theme, but hang in there, we’re not going anywhere!

So progress today on the current project! Faded the entire car with Vallejo pale blue acrylic, followed by faded white over the logo plus car numbers on the sides. This white area was then lightly brushed with off white Pan Pastels to blend it in a bit. Next up came…

Here’s the next project on the workbench, this Athearn 50’ Rock Island boxcar: This guy will hopefully be turned into this when finished: I just started on this one yesterday, with the underside primarily being done with a mixture of Vallejo black-grey paint plus medium brown. When dry, a brown…

Here are several more models recently finished and on eBay for sale:

This website by WordPress I’ve decided to keep going after all for several reasons. Please check out however my fairly new website on another provider for my HO scale layout here: https://cincinnatiterminalsub.blogspot.com/?m=0

Here again is another recent project that just sold on eBay! This guy was purchased new off eBay from a local modeler. This is an Atlas 50’ ft boxcar , and below is how it looked out of the box. Actually, photo below as it appears after a fade coat!…
