It is time for the Weathering Wednesday, 5/22/2024 edition (Though I am starting a day early, at least I have the correct Wednesday date this week). This is the weekly thread where we celebrate dirt, grime and rust in the interest of simulating realism in our trains and layouts. So, gentlemen and ladies, I hope that you again have your air brushes, acrylic paints and pastel chalks fueled and ready to GO! I and your fellow forum members are eager to see your engines, rolling stock, buildings and scenery that you have weathered and don’t forget to explain and demonstrate your techniques for us.
But first, here are 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.
My son, Chris, has been at it again. Below is a before and after photo of a Jersey Central RR Refer that Chris completed over the weekend using his technique that he explained in a video on a previous Weathering Wednesday.
Now it is your turn to show us your weathering artistry as well as how you achieved yours results.
