Got a couple weathering projects done this weekend during all the rain; they’re a bit heavier on the overall rust than I initially wanted, but not implausibly so. The big rust streaks are matched to a couple hoppers I got photos of when I worked at Prysmian, so those are prototypical. The other sides aren’t quite as good but they’ll be the backdrop sides! I did find a good method for representing light surface rust I’ll use on a couple more; the rest of the fleet won’t be as heavy as these. I will probably get a couple boxcars and one of my fertilizer hoppers done throughout this week as well.
I’ll need to tack the end of this walkway down.
I wish this streak over the number had come out a little lighter, but there’s so much room on the cars in HO I’m finding it tougher to get used to how much I can build in layers; I’m getting better one car at a time though!
