Advanced Rust Spot And Streaking Techniques. Tank Car Weathering!

Here is a special video I put together, focused entirely on the detail affects, like rust spots, pitting, and rust streaking as well. I am using acrylic paints, and chalk pastels for all of these affects!

Your the best I've ever seen in weathering, that's what makes this hobby real fun when your Locomotives an rolling stock look real 👍

[@pabassfisherman]

Dan. I can speak for most when I say "thank you" for sharing your techniques with us in the weathering community. By doing that you make and take us to the next level of weathering. I always look forward to your weathering videos! Great job as always and thanks again!

[@rigstoriches6194]

Your level of weathering is magnificent.

Dan, this is the first video of yours I've seen, and definitely won't be the last! Excellent demo and technique. It's great to see young guys like you "taking the torch", and doing master modeler kind of projects. (sorry, I'm 52, and have been in the Hobby since 1975 - so yeah, you're young!!) 😜 I've been doing the same technique for awhile - but with oil paints and turpentine..... I made the mistake of listening to some others, telling me that "acrylics don't work for streaking". That looks great, and you've taught an old dog a new trick in the process! Thank you.

Dan another ex exceptional how too. Definitely saving this video. Model turned out great.

[@markhayes6407]

Good techniques and the car looks great.

[@trainman071]

that tank car is so realistic from wheels to decals it is identical the real ones by all means

[@ollie1543]

That's really good! I'm weathering some of my dad's trains for him so this will help a lot!

[@MrJuvefrank]

I love what you're doing. At 19:50, if you use your imagination, you can see brown pawprints on the tank car.

[@FishplateFilms]

Very nice Dan! Good to see the actual process, especially for newbies like me! Thanks for using a tripod, makes things a lot easier to watch. Would love to see you weathering some trucks as well?? Cheers Gregg.

Another great one,, Looks super..

[@railcar123]

Very talented guy...

[@apiaristicone9585]

Dan, having just watched one of your videos can I say that the tank wagon didn't look 'pretty good...' it looked fantastic! Very well done!

[@johnrobertfox7775]

Hello Dan , you can also use grease em for a oily greasey affect !!

[@jimaz6532]

Nice. Really appreciate your process and attention to details. Just wondering if you prep the car with dull cote first. Or finish with dull cote. Thanks for sharing. 🚂

[@tylerbrooks2722]

Is that pumped up kicks I hear in the background lol

[@milanmiladinovic4771]

Hello. Your work is most beautiful. Is there a way I could find the place where you sell your stuff? Thank you

[@keithstrassner465]

Dan, very nice work, great instructional video. Do you seal the car with dullcoat or matt varnish?

[@DansRailroad2011]

+Keith Strassner I use a clear finish as a base for all of my models, some cars gets gloss or dullcoats between steps but generally, I do not apply clear finishes over my chalk and powder work because this dulls them down.

[@richardcolemanjr3749]

Dan did you make your own valve cover on this tank car? Atlas is using that style of car for its casutic soda (sodium hydroxide) series but they lack valve cover domes and the platforms aren't correct.

[@trainmandan05]

+RICHARD COLEMAN JR. Yes, I made my own cover for this car. These cars aren't 100% accurate but they make good stand ins at least!

[@robertschmidt6383]

I only see the back of your hand. Only when you move your hand is when we see the work. Camera angle.

[@paulkosierb3735]

As always amazing work of yours. Where do you find prototype photos. I have a hard time to find any just by entering road and car number on google search

[@thepoo1234]

www.rrpicturearchives.net/ has a ton of photos from all major railroads past and present, including private holding companies that own tank car like GATX.

[@matrod05]

What's the name of this reflective stripes on hobby shop ??
