I thought I would share the progress of weathering a car in water based oils. The car is no where near finished, I still have the roof, trucks and ends to do. I also tried my hand at graffiti for the 1st time. It says DA BOMB which I dedicated to my wife, she just laughed and walked away. This is a Weaver made car with metal trucks. SIRT says 15 minutes is what it takes to do one of these, I need to learn his process. 1st I used dullcote to prime the car. I then used some 800 grit sandpaper to fade the herald's. After that I use a dot system with the oils. With the oil applied I would use a damp brush to work the oil in a down fashion. Once the car was coated I would use a drier brush to remove the colors and to blend a little more uniform. The two main sides are about done, I still need to add some more dings and a little rust, not much I am going for more of a dirty, lightly faded car this time. Once al finished I will dullcote again and enjoy it on the layout. Nick
That's why I wanted to see a video... to see what in the world I'm doing wrong.
