Kalmbach 12847 - Weathering Models

Weathering includes blending subtle and heavy effects - grime, rust, soot, dirt - and doing it in a way that matches how prototype locomotives, freight cars, and other details acquire their aged appearance.

Weathering Models from Jeff Wilson will show you several techniques for capturing these effects.

You'll learn to:

• Identify how and why rolling stock, locomotives, vehicles, and structures acquire specific types of weathering

• Create specific rust and grime effects with paint washes, drybrushing, oversprays, chalks, and stains

• Realistically weather both simulated (plastic) wood and real wood

• Blend various weathering effects to create prototypical results

• Weather and paint specific prototype components such as wheels and trucks
