What we DID set out to do was compactly describe the methods Richard and I use, and show the results. Period. But that said, I am always interested in trying new materials or methods, and the military modelers have much to teach us about effective weathering.

I would add the use of pigments, filters and washes (look for products from MIG Productions or AK Interactive)used by armor/aircraft modelers. There are many websites and videos (YouTube) that explain how to use these products. .vp PS: If you are feeling adventurous look up the 'hairspray' weathering technique - you will be most impressed with the results. .vp --- In STMFC@..., Anthony Thompson <thompson@...> wrote:

Much talk about thinners. I have been using DuPont V-3602S acrylic lacquer thinner with all solvent based paints (haven't tried Trucolor paints yet) for years. Have sucessfully mixed Scalecoat and Floquil. It is available in auto paint stores.

Tony - Let me add my thanks as ell. Just one question, when you cut the Dullcoat 50/50 do you use Testor's thinner, or something else?I don't thin it, but Richard does. I know he uses lacquer thinner.

Also various grades of sandpaper (lately I use 3M soft sanding blocks). These are great for going over flat car decks -after- they have been weathered. And if you can find it, REAL rust. I have maybe 8 oz of rust flakes and powder collected from a scrap pile, from large fingernail sizes down to fine pigment. Great for dirty gondola interiors.

At the just-concluded Lisle meeting, Richard Hendrickson and I did a joint clinic on weathering of freight cars. We ran out of handouts, so I have posted the handout document via GoogleDocs on my blog. Here is the link.
