“The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again.
But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked.
Don’t rejoice when your enemies fall;
don’t be happy when they stumble.
For the Lord will be displeased with you
and will turn his anger away from them.
Don’t fret because of evildoers;
don’t envy the wicked.”
Proverbs 24: 16-19 NLT - Навчання та стиль
Last week I weathered an old loco I had as a kid. Looks ok but it's way over done, and I messed up from the very start airbrushing instead of washing a faded white.
Anyway, I joined a weathering group on Facebook and thought I'd share it with them. Over all, some support, but there was also some unwarranted hate. Really off-putting. To treat someone new to the style (or hobby) is ridiculous. If people wonder why there isn't more interest in the hobby, you just have to look at groups like that! Thank you Jimmy for the positive you bring to model railroading!
Those are the groups you actually want to be in and learn from. Stay away from the ones where heavily messed up works get hundreds of likes and positive comments.
@@benbedothu there's no reason for disrespect. I think you're confusing respectful constructive criticism with cocky arrogants putting someone who doesn't know, down. There's a right way and a wrong way. I'll stick with Jimmy's "be kind" and Boomer Dioramas "it's OK to try"
Superglue eh? Go figure!
Thanks for the shoutout, Jimmy! Can’t wait to do a collaboration with you again one day!
Simple and easy. Yeah!
Dang! I wish that I had stumbled upon your site two years ago. It would have saved me a ton of frustration, time, aggravation, and thousands upon thousands of dollars spent on things I'm unlikely to ever use. I need to find a swap meet.
I love weathering
Amen brother
I've read a lot of articles and MR books, and you made it look a lot easier, than anything I have ever read. Thanks Jimmy this was a very very interesting video. And something I'll have to try.
Crazy glue trick,nice. Trade ya a trick. Mask off the running #'s before ya start. Looks like they were freshly painted back on. Nice shout out for Tim🚂🇨🇦🇺🇲🖌🎨🚃🙋
Nicely done Jimmie
I’ve never bothered sealing the chalk afterwards. Still have cars that were weathered 25 years ago and they still look great!
Same here
Do you need a lot of chalk to get a noticeable weathering effect? I tried this method for the first time and it didn't seem to take all that well, but it's my first time doing this and I didn't use much just in case
Solid technique! I don't spray my cars afterwards. I use a short stiff brush and I use it to really grind the chalk into the plastic or wood. You will loose some chalk to touching it but not nearly as much as you will by spraying it. Nice to see you use multiple layers and chalk colors together. I think the hardest thing to teach people new to weathering is that it is never a single layer process.
Jimmy, I love the superglue hint - definitely will try that. A few comments: First, I recommend wearing cloth gloves while doing this. Skin oils will stick to cars very easily, and pastel chalks make great fingerprint powder. Do not use latex gloves - these often are dusted with talc and the talc will stick to the car. Search Amazon for "lightweight inspection gloves." Second, Dullcote is notorious for making weathering chalks disappear. Don't be surprised if most of your colors vanish after you apply the Dullcote. You just have to keep applying and sealing until you get the color you like. Third, weather the wheels too! Remove the wheelsets from the truck sideframes and paint the outside surface, being careful to keep the paint away from the pointed bearing tip. I use a superfine microbrush - I dip it in flat rust acrylic paint and just rub it around the wheel. It will likely take two coats. (This is also a great time to replace plastic wheelsets with metal wheelsets.)
Very cool!! Thank you for sharing. Happy modeling!! -Jason
Interesting concepts Jimmy. thank you.
Always great to see another method to weather rolling stock! Thanks Jimmy.
Great technique Jimmy. It definitely looks like an easy method and the result was really good looking. Thanks for sharing
Way cool thanks
Looks like it's been outside for easily 20 plus years, maybe even 30! Thank you for the tips!
Thanks! This helps.
Thanks for this! You made it seem so easy and stress free!
good vid on the channel thanks lee
Nice work Jimmy. Bill Sampson of Soo the Milwaukee Road has some great videos on weathering (with great production quality as well). Happy holidays!
I am drinking starbucks today ❤️
Very nice, I use a similar process, I bought graffiti stickers, then put on the powder, I was using white glue but I like the super/zip tie glue idea. Always learning from you....Thanks
👍😀 OperateOnOperator
Definitely going to have to try that thanks for sharing Jimmy 👍👍
Missed the chance to title the vid
Quick and Dirty Model Railroad Weathering
Wow Jimmy this really simple technique and it looks fantastic
Oh this is so cool! Thank you so much!
Great video Jimmy… I finally found time to give your weathering techniques a try and it DIDN’T look as nice as yours. But model railroads are a work in progress. Thanks again for your help.
Hint to all: Vallejo Matte Varnish fries flat, but does not do away with the pastels. Yes, can be thinned to airbrush on.
Nice ❤️
Hi it would be amazing if this include this comment to your next vid i drink usually finnish coffee( juhlamokka- tumma paahto) with littlepit of milk and one cube of sugar❤
Thanks!
Great weathering video! Just subscribed to your channel. Weathering techniques look great when done right, thanks! 👍
I would like to ask the big question. Weather or not weather. Some like the realistic weather look and some like the museum mint condition look. What about you what's your choice?
Weather! Gotta weather! Cuz they make it like that!
I like it
I like your shows. Thanks. And I have a question about wiring. To connect 5-10 accessory lights, all small LED, would you recommend series or parallel connection and why?
What brand of chalk do you use for your weathering ? Beautiful job !!!
Does this method work for ho scale trains too?
Hmm! I use the ash from burning incense. I have/so far, 4 different colors. I do pretty much the same as you. And do not seal. Cars should be on the layout, and not handled. Handling messes up the ash. The advantage is that you can change the ashes as you wish to change the appearance. Let's face it, when a car is on the layout, you should not touch them. Derailments? NO.l Make sure your track is good/or better. You don't have derailments is the track is good. And no need to touch the cars. Use a stick to uncouple or the ramps.
hello
I can’t bring myself to take a 30 or 40 dollar piece of rolling stock, and make it look like crap 😂
Once you start, you can’t stop 😜
"So pretty, so nice and clean, and I'm gonna make it dirty"
What goes through my mind everytime I meet a new woman. Giggity 😂
I have no problem with those who love weathering their trains and locomotives. But weathering passenger cars to me is a huge no.
Jimmy, why waste our time on the trucks? They are pretty well hidden. Plus the chances of gumming up the wheels, trucks and couplings especially the couplers, they have gotten expensive, like Ouch. But as the one guy says it's my railroad and I will do it my way.
Thank you, Jimmy.
