Reply to "WEATHERING DIESELS"

"The Apprentice" had been teaching me airbrush weathering. He's better at it than I am, but I'm learning. We both have a preference for "road dirt" as opposed to rusting things out. The paint we like for this is "dust" on darker cars and "earth" on lighter ones to provide contrast and bring out the details without overpowering. I haven't ventured beyond that, but have been thinking about it now that I have a compressor at home for my airbrush.

Some cars I was fiddling with. Used Floquil "Dust" paint as these were darker cars.

Sadly, don't have photos of the best cars I've done so far. Maybe I'll pull them this weekend and photograph them.
