Weathering
Thanks, Charlie. I’ve come to believe weathering is all about layers of material and color.
I always encourage modelers to keep weathering stuff. Don't just weather one car and wait six to eight months to do another. You don’t retain the info you learned. Do two or three models at a time. Then do another batch the next week. And more after that. It’s not like most of us don’t have extra freight cars that need to be weathered.
You can't expect to improve if you aren't doing the task frequently.

Nice overview, not everyone thinks they have the skill sets for weathering and your approach makes for an easy ‘dip in the pool’. I remember back in the 1970’s using merely an airbrush to add ‘dust’ on a few boxcars and thought that was enough. Now we’ve got a whole art store at our disposal.
