Add super realistic corrosion easy with secret Pro-method

I had the oppourtunity to get introduced into the higher school of weathering by Mr: Christoffer Johnsen from Norway. He is giving classes in weathering in Norway. This video shows how super realistic corrosion can be added to any plastic surface with a really simple method. The resulting surface can be studied under microscope without flaws. This method is also a foundation for applying more advanced methods of detailed weathering on Märklin models, which will be covered in future tutorials here on the channel.
This video is a direct result of the support I got from you viewers, where as I have been able to take courses and study new methods, which in turn is presented for you in video tutorial format.

I should also have said I am fed up with weathering techniques, which involve air brushing. Not that air brushing isn't effective, its just I don't have one nor likely to own one. Simple techniques involving readily available items to do the weathering make a lot of sense. I think the results are as good as any and better than many. So thank you again.

[@25mfd]

HA... I thought I was the only one who felt this way about air brushing... like you said, it does have it's place but i've found that air brushing for weathering can be tricky because it's too easy to spray and give a uninspiring, blah uniform coverage.... this is great if you are painting a model one whole color... but not good if you're trying to get a random pattern like with weathering... using hand applied techniques as shown here give a more random look...

[@donsharpe5786]

I am most impressed with your method of rust weathering. Thank you.

[@happyboar1019]

Very good method for a maximum of realism. Good job and thank you 👍

[@databang]

Thanks for another relaxing video and kudos to Mr. Johnsen’s creative technique!

[@petersierksma5374]

This helped me make my broken Hornby E2 class look like it’s been in a scrapyard for a long time

[@ulc35]

Not just this video, but all of your videos have premium content, loads of inspiration and are very well produced.. 👍 I’ve had a break from trains and videos on my channel for about a year now, and I think I feel inspired to get going again now.. Cheers from 🇩🇰 Denmark

[@Isourou_ZD]

Perfectly work.

[@thomream1888]

I have much appreciation for the entertainment, but even more so for the education. There are thousands of modelers, and I am one of them, that build better models thanks to you and your efforts. I think one of the best ways modelers can get better is meeting with other modelers, sharing ideas and techniques, motivating each other to be better than we were yesterday. Even though we've never met, you and I are part of that modeling community, and you help me every bit as much as the guys I see each month. Thank you for helping, every time you post a new video. From my family to yours, Merry Christmas, and the happiest of New Years.

[@modellbahn187-untermdach2]

Vielen Dank für das tolle Video. Das werde ich nachher gleich mal versuchen 🙏🙏🙏.

[@FL70NJ]

A great method for achieving a medium to light-heavy rusting on any type of unlettered rolling stock!! Would also look great on scrap piles or trucks even!! Thanks to Christoffer Johnsen and you and for sharing this method with us!!

[@rkalle66]

Such gondola cars E or flat cars K typically are not only rusted and weathered but beaten. E.g. bowed walls, mssing stakes, old nails in the floor, remnants of goods like dirt, stones, oil. At wheels and springs there is less rust but grease. Your way to give the painting a structure is great to see. Some funny fact is that these types of cars are less prone to graffiti but sometimes get a partial painting in the repair shops.

[@rudiloof7064]

Nice! 👍🏻 Thanks to your friend Christopher too!

[@marcstrls5523]

Following your tutorials is always a pleasure ! Very nice work 😋👍🏻

[@marklinofsweden]

Thank you Marc!

[@Subs0nic]

Fantastic result! Video came out great. The OS cars are fantastic to weather.. hmm.. wondering how xfabs will do with this technique.. i'll go work on it.. Remember guys, you can use this everywhere you find rust, buildings, corrugated roofs, cranes, shiny plastic kits etc.. Have a great weekend! all the best Christoffer

[@tcsyme]

Beautifully done, thanks for sharing this technique. With the wagon looking so wonderful now, the log load now almost looks too new. I wonder how they would look with a touch of mud and dirt as well.

[@sc-hc4vk]

Great video👏👏

[@w.rustylane5650]

Another great video tutorial. I make my own iron oxide from 0000 steel wool soaked in vinegar for a month. I've described this process on another one of your tutorials. I can get the exact same effects using my iron oxide. I love making deep pitting rust as you've shown here. Cheers & 73 from W Rusty Lane K9POW in eastern Tennessee

[@bearclawws]

Hello from Texas, absolutely beautifully done!

[@jvanamb]

Stephen, This technique for rusting rolling stock, Locomotives, and scenery is something I have used for almost 25 years. It adds marvelous realism to the scenes. HOWEVER, I am one of those modelers who despise the use of BLACK WASH. Over the years I have used a brown wash. But I am still opposed to the use of a wash. So I have resorted to two effects: 1) When painting the first coat use the steel wool side of the sponge to rough up (distress) the surface. Then the pastels layer. Followed by a second paint layer using the GENTLER Rubber Sponge side. If need be you can repeat the process until you are satisfied with your croma hue. At this point spray a dull coat to affix any pastel which maybe lose. A less expensive way would be to abscond with one of the wife cans of Hair Spray.

[@marklinofsweden]

Thank you for interesting feedback! I´ll try it.

[@peterrowney5180]

Why are you opposed to the black wash?

[@jvanamb]

@@peterrowney5180 Black Wash is NOT NATURAL. Rust is a combination of Reds and Browns. Black appears as an ugly smear. And the use of an overthined wash mix causes the smear to run where it will causing the rust to dilute and drain off the model.

[@ronaldliggett5452]

Great weathering.

[@hastingsbnsfnscalemodeler8594]

As always another great video. I come back to your channel over and over to learn and incorporate your techniques into my fledgling layout and diorama builds. You are doing a great service to the modeling community. The number of views this video has already in a few short days is proof that you are hitting it out of the park (sorry for the baseball reference). Thanks, I look forward to your next installment...Anthony

[@marklinofsweden]

Thank you very much for the positive feedback! It makes me very happy and gives energy for 2019 videos. All the best to you for Christmas and New Year!

Very good. Greetings from UK.

[@schwarzerabt4945]

Ganz großes Kino 👍👍👍

[@drogobero4479]

Looks Great! Will definitely be trying this method and experimenting with adding another layer of paint and powders, as well as sealing with a matte clear coat instead (because I personally found the wash muddles the crusty dust rust effects a bit too much for my like). I can't wait to get my hands on and absolutely corrode them! Thank you for a great tutorial!

Fantastic technique and a beautiful result! For heavily rusted rolling stock, there is nothing better than this method - the paint chipping effect is just perfect. Thank you for sharing. Cheers! Kaustav

Well done, Martin! I really looks rusted and grungy! Sometimes, simple is better!

[@DerWagenix]

You are doing good. I really like your very clear and slow speaking, so you are well to understand for people like me, not speaking english very well. I never tried to weather my engines or waggons, feared of ruining them. But your guides are good enough, so I think, I should give it a try... What do you think, is the easiest for starting weathering? A waggon or an engine?

[@ericsainte290]

really awsome technique. I translated it wifh the Vallejo "thick mud" and weatering effect's "rust texture" applied on a n scale British Steel coal hopper, with the same result. I highly suggest you try those "weathering effects" and "muds" from Vallejo as they're really excellent, as well as their new metal colors & the "engines" weathering colors (both washes & paints).

[@marklinofsweden]

Thank you for feedback! I’ll try it! 👍

[@justrandomcarsurbex3057]

Hi Mark, love the videos a great help to me. Have you thought of using actual rust instead of the pastel colours. I was wire brushing some old gate hinges and kept the rust powder, it works great 😁
