Oh man I was hoping for a video on those 86 boxcars, the picture on IG looked as if you took the real thing out from the rails with a tiny-zer gun. Insane, I love this, this was a summer christmass video :))))
Thanks for posting this video. It gives us another option for weathering and to be able to control it easier. That technique would be spot on for those CSX 86' hi-cubed autoparts boxcars(Chessie System) and GTW that take a pounding up north and in Canada. I definitely plan on using this my Tangent Scale Models(86' hi-cubed) and maybe even a few autoracks(roofs). I hate that I didn't get a few of those CSX cars. Those cars look great 👍!
I thought you'd over-done the first half of the side (16:30), but the clear-coat has taken it back to a really nice level (22:00). Love the final result! Your videos are really good tutorials -- you teach well.
Great video and tutorial of yet another spectacular weathering job! Your work is 2nd to none! I recently started doing weathering on my rolling stock and I'm quite impressed with the results due to watching your videos! You've been a big help in the techniques to prototyping real weathered cars. Thanks again for sharing your videos with us along with your time and effort Dan!
Hi Dan. Very nice presentation. Thanks. Perhaps you are already aware that some, not all, pigment powders are toxic. The AIM product warns it can cause cancer. Many modelers wear gloves and masks when working with these products. Thanks again for sharing your work. It is very helpful.
I have a question about the minimum radius: The SUGGESTED minimum radius is 24" - but what is the REAL minimum radius? For example, the Walthers 89' Autoracks have also a suggested minimum radius of 24", but in fact, they run even through 18" without any problems.
dan thanks for great vid 'as always ' lol do you think this water technique would work with pan pastels ? i think i will try it on my shingled depot roof too !
Hey Dan, I'm really interested in your rust technique. However, I'm having issues with watching. Everytime that you lay down a rust streak your head gets in the way. If you could just move the camera so that we could watch you work it would be much appreciated. Thanks and keep up the good work.
A powder is a powder. A pigment is a substance that imparts colour. Inks are pigment+solvent; paints are pigment+solvent+binder. In technical usage, pigments are usually not water-soluble; the water-soluble equivalent is a dye. Pan Pastels are a specific branded product. An ordinary pastel consists of pigment in a gum or resin binder; Pan Pastels seem to be a very soft pastel in a different shape.
