First Attempt at Weathering | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Jay OttawaOGR Forum Member

Hey all,

So my 12yr old daughter got the weathering bug and convinced me to get the stuff to give it a try with her. We got some chalk pastels and some acrylic paints in good weathering colours. I grabbed some old HO cars I had laying around and we gave it a try. We had better luck with the paint doing some drybrushing than we did with the chalk.

Here are some pics of how they turned out as well as the prototype phots we used for inspiration. We will do some more practice before we do any of our O scale cars.

Like any thing else the more you do the better you will get. good start..just sayin that i spray the entire car with dull lacquer first this removes the shine then i begin the weathering process. i use testors dullcoat. try it you will like it...

Thanks for the comments guys. John I did use dullcoat before to help the chalks adhere and after to seal everything in.
