   Do you do washes or powders? (I just use craft acrylics and thier dirty brush water for grimey weather washes. Blk/brwn/grn but with pigment specs of "every color on earth" or in it, or around it, swish the water around and start pouring, lol. ( I actually mop brush it some to fill corner and edge detail well, then pour. It can take a few dumps so I recover it in a glass pan sometimes)

 I'm wondering if one of the model paint companies offers a small bottle of etch primer? And they do make quarts you could brush from but its kinda rare to see it on shelves really. And owch... how do I get a splinter in the top of my foot while sleeping?  I gotta go...

I used to do scales where all my stock and locos were pre-painted. I've played with both washes and chalks. The model is painted with cheap testors paints. I mixed a red, rust, and white till it seemed sorta like what I see on DRGW gons. Seems like if I go more than one coat I will lose some of the wood granin, so maybe I'll poke some nail holes into the wood and do a dark wash to cover any missed spots. Then I might do some dried dirt all over it.
