Tomorrow is the start of the great York meet for the spring of 2024. Many of you will be coming home with new treasures for your layouts. That sounds to me as if there will be many new items that need to be turned in to old-looking items for those of you that weather your engines, rolling stock, buildings and other scenery. So, in the weeks to come, I am hoping for many of you to share more of your creations as well as weathering techniques here on Weathering Wednesday for us to admire and also learn new tricks of our own from your artistry.
My start to this week’s edition is sharing the weathering technique of my son, Chris Harrison, with all of you. You have seen, in previous iterations of this forum topic, several of Chris’ weathered freight cars. Some samples are in the following photos.
But first, the forum ground rules as so adroitly stated by my good friend Patrick Whitehead (aka trumptrain), host of the popular topic of this type, Switcher Saturday:
- Have fun and enjoy!
- Post only photos that you have taken.
- If you post a photo taken by someone else or a copyrighted photo be sure you have express written permission from the photo's owner to post their photo.
- Any individual who posts copyrighted material is subject to legal liability. Furthermore, that individual will be banned from the OGR Forum.
- Please consult the OGR Forum TOS (Terms of Service) for further information regarding copyrights.
So now, get your popcorn ready, find a nice comfortably seat and enjoy today’s feature video presentation starring my son Chris showing you his technique of weathering freight rolling stock.
Now it is your turn to show us your weathering artistry as well as how you achieved yours results.
