Easy Weathering

[@ShawnCalay]

I worked at Chicago Central and Illinois Central for most of my working career....you got these dead on!

[@DavidCollmar]

I like this video it really helped me to weather my cars since I am right now just doing powder pastels and learning about faded look really is a great idea that you presented

[@mrtahoe]

0:13 took the words out of my mouth! You did a great job on your video.

[@markhayes6407]

I learned something and I like your technique. Thanks Campbell.

[@DavRBailey]

Well done! Lots of people can show their "finished" cars, but not everyone is as good at breaking the steps down and making people feel like they need a huge airbrush rig and art studio. Your video was extremely helpful and encouraging. I've been back in the hobby now since March 2024 (although it's really more like being a "first-timer",) and I'm still building my layout, but I've been acquiring a lot of old second-hand cars really cheap, so those will make great practice cars for this. Thanks again!

@@DavRBailey Good deal, thanks for the comment. I look forward to seeing your work.

Very cool video and topic. Have a wonderful upcoming Wednesday. Steve

[@johnbanicki7232]

Great ideas. I think it is time to sit down and get busy. Thanks for sharing.

[@georgiasunbelt]

Nice demo on weathering with pan pastels…gonna try your technique as I don’t own an airbrush…

[@mrtahoe]

8:36 never knew of this. It’s good to learn new things on KZbin

I've got a GM&O locomotive I'm going to try TY Cam

[@KandWRailroader]

You do good weathering work! I'd be proud if my fleet looked like yours. Love the first boxcar interior...nice touch!

Hi Campbell, great instructional video! Nice job! I just got into model railroading a few months ago, I've done 3 cars so far and it's a blast so much fun!

[@frankjonathan8043]

Say, Campbell "What's Neat This Week"? Great video-learned a lot. Now I have to get Pan Pastels and give it a try.

[@wheelslip]

Give it a try, thanks for the comment

[@jamierzz]

Happy to see you still have that ICG car I did for you years ago!

[@4everdc302]

[@What_If_We_Tried]

Thanks so much for your tutorial video.

[@ChristianBitter]

great video 🙂

[@mysticrailroad]

you do awesome weathering! :)

[@wheelslip]

Thanks but there's a lot of people who are way better than me

[@Crookedriverandeasternrr]

Nice tutorial

[@Vman7757]

I just found you. Did you do a video on how you weathered your cars? I will try this.

[@Jeff-fx1zy]

Luckily, my time frame is '75-'80. The only graffiti back then was "Herby", "Bozo Texino", "The Rambler, port of Beaumont Texas". etc. Microscale did a decal sheet for those.

[@eXtremeFX2010]

I do mostly Pantel Pastel Powders as you, I still have my Airbrush kits... but I have to tell yah, Airbrush is cool, but that Airbrush clean up is a BEATING🤦🏽‍♂️.... So, I do mostly Powder weathering... Good Tutorial Sir.👍🏼

[@wheelslip]

Exactly right with you there

[@mic-drop-74]

How do you seal the chalk to the car so you don't get finger prints?

[@wheelslip]

Seal it with dull coat. Start by applying dull coat. That gives something for the Pan Pastels to adhere to. Then seal it with another coat of dull coat. Only thing I failed was that you should use latex gloves so you don't transfer fingerprints to the model. Pan Pastels will make fingerprints show up like your headed for jail.

[@Jeff-fx1zy]

Unpainted welded repairs, door hasps n such are a good excuse for dark rust.

[@leisureshoot]

what do you seal the Pan Pastel with?
