Started Weathering
M y large scale steam locomotive kitbash is still coming along. This project is taking far longer than I anticipated but at least it is coming along nicely. Yesterday, I started the day by adding trim to the cab and then I spent the rest of the morning and into the afternoon continuing the weathering that I had previously started on the backhead of the cab. This time, I was weathering the outside of locomotive and tender rather than just inside the cab. I'm finding that getting the weathering just right is a delicate balance of differing subtle colors... ie, rust, white discolored corrosion, and simple weathering of varying shades. I find that I do a bit of weathering in one color and then I need to add other subtle colors to tone down what I had previously done. Before I started weathering yesterday, I finished all I plan to do with the cab on this project. The ceiling is done... the cab is painted... I installed trim on the windows... details added... cab details pai
