A day early, no big deal! I say what the heck, let's roll with it...
Here's a Lionel Maine Central PS-5 drop-end gondola that I did in 2016, about two years or so after I started weathering. I was literally weathering everything I could get my hands on back then in an effort to try different techniques, learn from my mistakes, and improve my skills. I distinctly remember the goal with this particular car was to experiment with rust techniques. For the record, I typically don't like my cars to be this rusty, and only have a few like this on my roster.
I sold off almost all of these early weathering attempts--including this car--to help pay for more cars to weather. Buy-weather-sell...buy-weather-sell. I guess you can say I caught the weathering bug really bad!!
