Weathering a Boxcar Using Fading - No Airbrush

Hey guys!
Today we weather a Chicago and Northwestern boxcar using an emphasis on fading. I don't use an airbrush at the moment so I'm trying to find a good technique to do fading on my own.
I hope you guys enjoy!

I made a jig that's basically a slab of wood that bolts onto the truck holes. It forms a handle so I can avoid touching the model

Fantastic 👍

[@johnathanlewis2049]

Looks good. That car has been run hard and put away wet

[@rogerball6265]

Would add a bit of blue/green to the fade mixture to get the bluish color in the photo

Awesome video and your weathering technique worked out great! Where did you find the jar of simulated dirt? That definitely added the finishing touches to the boxcar! Thanks for sharing this video and I'm viewing it from Delmar, Delaware.

Thank you! The dirt is from Monroe Models and it’s in their weathering powder packs. Very good stuff! Thanks for watching!

Do you ever have issues with the alcohol peeling up the decals?

[@TheTrainFan]

The logos that are on the car have always been perfectly fine for me especially when using 70% rubbing alcohol. With 90% it probably would be an issue. If I am applying decals, I do all my work with alcohol before I apply them

Get some inexpensive cotton gloves
for handling the cars. 😁

[@TheTrainFan]

I have latex gloves, I was just too lazy to put some on when making this video 😂
