Weathering Decals on Model Trains

Click on Show More
Following on the Salt Chipping Technique, this video explores a process for weathering decals on model trains. While second in a series with a freelance boxcar, this video does stand alone as it shows some tips on how to weather not only applied decals, but also factory painted models as well.

This is an updated version of the combo set that I started with. The advantage of this newer version is that if you wanted to swap out needle sizes, it can be done with upgrade kits, and it comes with different sizes of paint cups. It comes with a 0.3mm needle as standard. This also comes with the same compressor that you saw in the video. I’ve been very happy with my setup. It has done everything I’ve asked it to. Fittings on this airbrush and hose are ⅛” which are compatible with Iwata hoses.
