Brilliant primer for beginners: tinyurl.com My Web Site: modelrr.oakviewresources.com Part 1: A small tutorial on weathering rolling stock for your model railroad with powdered chalks.
thanks a lot. I just watched this and it worked fantastic, but I still have to seal it. Instead of sanding the paint I scraped graphite pencil lead off with a razor blade and place it on with a brush and then rubbed it in with my finger. It looks like heavy grime in thicker spots and dulls the paint everywhere else like the sun would. You should try it!
I want to thank you, this series of video really helped me on how to weather my rolling stock using chalks. I tried and it work perfectly!
at what scale is that car?????
EXCELLENT LOOK TO U ALL WEATHERING IS AN ART ITS NOT HARD BUT IT TAKES TIME TO PREFECT LOOK BACK FOR SOME NEW VIDS OF OUR MT PASS N SCALE LAYOUT BE BUILT ps THEBIGE61 AWSOME JOB WITH THE TIME SPENT RECORDING YOU LAYOUT VIDS
I’ve used Testor’s Dullcote in the past. It does tend to lighten the chalk a bit but it does protect it from thumb prints.
Well…I suppose if you had the right colors. I’ve never tried it so I can’t say for sure. You could try things out on a really cheap car to see if it works.

will any kind of chalk work?
this video was excellent
why cant i see the video gm
but that technique can be used in any scale right??? Im asking before making a mess lol

Nooooooooo. It’s too thick in consistency. It would really make a mess of your car.

Dry Brush. I probably forgot to mention it.
