    Start with a very thin black acrylic wash and a large at least one-inch brush. About three coats of this. Soak in pickle mix a few times. Detail with rusty washes. Rub in graphite powder with a finger. Dry brush with a very dry dirt tone on a huge brush. A last thin coat of watery black. I recommend drinking heavily in the pauses when things need to dry.

    Thanks Eric very nice and believe it is the layering of your different applications in slowly building up the effects of weather and use that gives these the wonderful depth and authenticity of your weathering. Appreciate your response and photos !!

  • Robert.GRobert.G
    Indeed it does!!

    I love the style of the cab; it is not just utilitarian. Nicely weathered also!

    The Airline Highway in Maine was a really brutal road in the 1950s. Still need to find my decals.

    No one has built this strange ATLAS O ABS kit?

    Ever seen an open suitcase in 1/48th scale?
  • MountaingoatMountaingoat
    That's quite the hogleg on the shirts. I doubt that would get through TSA even in 1/48th scale. Well done....Rick

    Very impressive...….a bowie knife next to the colt would be a nice addition....
  • EricMGEricMG
    A knife is kept on your person.

    Funny how eventually, after three years, I'm not seeing that many things to correct or improve.

    Beautiful shots. Very moody. You can almost see the fog creeping...
  • kebmokebmo
    i agree with brett.
    a slight improvement might be to add some chop to the water surface. other than that, i'm with you. there's nothing that needs improvement. at. all.
  • EricMGEricMG
    I do have photos with fog. Will find.

  • kebmokebmo
