I visited Trainfest this past weekend in Milwaukee, WI. One of the more interesting products was from Joe @ Weathering Solutions. Check it out at http://www.weatheringsolutions.com and his example video on Youtube on applying his weathering decals.

Mike,
Thanks for the link. I had see n these on ebay, it is a very interesting concept.

That’s a great idea and look but it’s probably not for everyone.
I guess if time is not a factor and you like fooling with decals, it’s a cool one time project.
He should market a continuous strip that can be cut once to avoid all the separate steps.
Those who love to paint can achieve a more complete and expanded result in about 5 minutes.
The concept does take away the artistic and creative value and probably would be more suitable for small items like H.O.
Problem is, ya still have to paint the rest of the car as well which should be done first.
Thanks for the post.

Try powdered chalk first. It comes off if you do not like it. I use colors and shades of gray, and when satisfied I shoot some Dullcote. Lots easier than making a decal settle down over protuberances.
Just wondering Mike, what would you consider to be (far less time) to complete an O scale car using that method?

I like the product and the concept. I could see using it for certain effects, and combining it with an air brush... the end result would be pretty nice. I like the air brush for feathering in colors and shooting a nice haze over things but this product has a place.
Chris, I think you have the right idea there. I'm working on a car now doing just that. Photos to come
Can't wait to see the results. I'm weathering a OMI unschrouded "J" right now...paint is a flyin....
