Weathering An Intermountain ConAgra 4750 Covered Hopper

A simple and easy weather job on a cheap Intermountain car I recently purchased.

I was skeptical the first 20 minutes or so, but it all came together by the end of the project. Nice job!!

Thank you! It's all about layers with weathering and adding a little at a time to get to the end result!

Great tutorial. Enjoy the tip with using a Sharpie to add finer weathering details. 👍

[@ConrailSteve]

Thank you! The fine tip markers have really been a game changer for me as I never could seem to get fine enough lines with paint brushes.

Really nice weathering job, but the video is way too long because of all the repetition. For example, we don't need to see you spray the rail brown grime on both sides of the car: that's the same thing, twice. We don't need to see you clean all 28 visible ribs on the car -- three or four shows everything you need. And it's kind of ironic that you say we don't need to watch you painting wheels and trucks again, and then show the whole thing anyway. All the things you show are great, but the video could be half the length and still show as much.

Appreciate the advice! The laptop I used to edit these wouldn’t really let me watch the video unit it was finish so I could remove the repeating parts. Hopefully can have that fixed going forward.
