- Lightly Weathering an HO Scale Boxcar
In this video I record the process I took to create a lightly weathered HO Scale Accurail 50' Exterior Post Boxcar kit for my fictional leasing company. - Навчання та стиль
Thanks for a GREAT "How I did it" weathering video. You have some great techniques. As always, "less" is invariably more. And every car is different. Two things to remember in weathering: sunlight is the mortal enemy of any coating system, and rust never sleeps!
Glad it was helpful!
Nice job on the weathering Joey. I like the variation in cars too - they don't all weather exactly the same.
I just created a new Save category for the best modeling videos. I don’t want to lose this one. Thanks.
Wow thanks for including this one!
👍 good job
great vid =]
Those look great, Joey! Not too much, not too little.
Nice video, great workmanship, helpful hint you might not know, Crayola makes a brown felt-tip marker that fits perfectly in the wheel about the same colors what you made up that way you don't have to pull out all the paints and get the same effect and dry time is quicker just thought I'd pass it along. Again great video in great work
Thanks! I didn't know that about Crayola, good tip
Fantastic! Not over done like some. Love it! Definitely will try some of these techniques.
Looks great 👍
Thanks for showing
Wish I had an air brush
Thanks, there are some good budget friendly airbrushes that do a good job. NEO for Iwata w/ included compressor is a good first buy. It was my first and I still use the airbrush, just with a different compressor now.
Nice job on the boxcar weathering! The steps you do are quite similar to mine and I've had positive results too. I've gotten to enjoy weathering and I also do my own Graffiti. You know how some Boxcars look like a Red color from fading? Here's a tip for color choices, I use Anita's True Red Acrylic mixed with Anita's Earth Brown with water as a wash. But only do this after airbrushing white w isopropyl alcohol. Anyways, your boxcar turned out great and I definitely like it! Thanks again for sharing this video with us along with your PRICELESS time and effort! Cheers from Delmar, Delaware.
Thanks, yeah once you get into a groove with this stuff it's quite fun!
Unless it's Amtrak or in a security yard it's going to get tagged by the graffiti crew.
New to the channel, thanks so much for sharing your weathering tips.
Very nice. Normally, when I'm painting the trucks, I stick little pieces of painters' tape to mask off the cavities where the wheelset bearing ends go. Any overspray onto the back of the far side of the truck is kept off the bearing surfaces that way. I use acrylic paint markers to just swoop around the front faces of the wheels, again to keep paint off the axle ends. I just squirt a bit of powdered graphite in each cavity when assembling the trucks.
I like the way you used the chipping technique on the roof. Thanks for an informative video.
Something I am going to try instead of tape on the inside of the trucks is to just put an old plastic wheelset in it. Doesn't matter if paint gets on that wheel.
Great Video, great results! Thanks for sharing your work and techniques!
0:51 I've seen oodles of freight cars that look like the one on the right. You did an excellent job of making that one look realistic.
Thanks!
I also have those alligator clips too,I mounted mine on 5/16 dowels cut at lengths of 6" & 12". Another good tip I have is to save those paper towel cardboard inserts,as they're are quite handy as model holders with those one piece model shells,just flatten one end of the tube and stick it inside the rail car or locomotive shell, they'll hold it firmly while you are painting even upside down in most cases then place the whole thing in a glass jar or something heavy enough to hold it while it dries,then move on to the next step without worrying about handling the model..👍
I know someone else who uses the paper towel inserts, seems like a useful tool
Interesting tips. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for sharing your work, beautiful weathering! I am going to borrow some of your techniques.
Glad you found it useful, and thanks for stopping by!
this is a great video on the weathering
Really great and detailed video.
And thanks for explaniing and showing the hairspray technique.
It might even work pretty good on an N scale car, you can get pretty fine detail using it if you brush it lightly
@@JoeyBPhotography I am thinking it will work better than salt for fine details.
Excellent tutorial! Thanks. 👍
Thanks for stopping by to watch it!
Joey that was a great weathering tutorial.
Thanks for stopping by!
Well done 👍
Just found your channel from the Second Section podcast. Subbed and favorited this video! Thanks for taking the time to make! Now to the Tamiya video. 😉
Glad you enjoyed it!
Looks good! So many people go way too heavy (I'm guilty too) but this is just right!
Thanks! Everyone has their personal taste, for sure. I model a specific year, so I try to weather the car based on its labeled build date.
Well done, those are huge compared to N scale which I model.
I grind up number 2 pencil lead into a powder and use it on trucks and wheels, or like you did, on anything you want the shoe ware.
That's another great way to do it!
The finished cars look fantastic! How long did you let the oil washes dry before your next step?
This process took place over the course of several days (busy home life), so it varied. Sometimes I'd apply the wash then have to get up and see what the kids were arguing about, or run an errand. You can speed the process up with a hair dryer set to low and it'll be good to go in 5-10 minutes for a light wash over the whole thing. That's what I'll be using when I go through my "production line" process when I do the remaining 8 to speed it up. The key is make sure its absolutely dry otherwise the next thing you do will smudge (take a guess how I know lol). I apply dullcote after every wash as well.
Great video and very informative. One question, why do you use an oil wash as opposed to an acrylic wash?
Thanks. I prefer the transparency of the oil washes. When I tried acrylic washes I'd always get tide marks when it dried that were a pain to deal with for me. Plus I've loved the smell of linseed oil ever since my college days when I used to oil paint lol
@@JoeyBPhotography That makes sense and I appreciate you getting back to me. I am an N scaler and have had success with acrylic washed but I will try your oil approach for the washes and see how they work for me. I'll let you know. Keep your great videos coming.
Awesome weathering! Where you get your Decal Custom made from
Thanks. Highball Graphics
Great tutorial! Thanks for posting. Going to try this on some N scale boxcars.
Can you share where you had your custom decals done?
Thanks for watching! I used Highball Graphics
Great tutorial. Did you say where you got the decals made up?
Hmm, I think I forgot. Highball Graphics
my friend great work you should try the disters oxide
Thanks. I've never heard of disters oxide, I'll have to look that up
How did you create the buried track around your industry?
I used really fine, gray tile grout, pressed it down firmly to make it flat, then misted it with alcohol and water. 24 hours later it was solid and could start weathering it
What colors did you use for the trucks?
I show all the colors for the trucks starting at 16:20 and 17:40
You forgot to paint the inside wheel faces and axles. The bright shiny surfaces are very evident. Otherwise, excellent results.
It doesn't really bother me, I'm normally looking down at them anyway
Sorry about that information I give you earlier about the Crayola marker that's incorrect what it is it's a Elmer's paint pen, so I wanted to send you another message so I didn't send you on a wild goose chase . Again sorry
Ok, thanks for the clarification!
I was just wondering how to get graffiti on a locomotive and cars when I am not artistic ??
You can get graffiti decal sheets. I don't personally put graffiti on my cars, but if I did, I'd probably practice on hand painting them on old junker cars first, or even just on random pieces of plastic, etc. If you don't feel artistic, you can always just copy what you see in photos (which is where I'd start as well)
Hey dude I saw ur road video and I was wondering can it be for 1:50 scale aswell. Cause I mostly interested in 1:50 scale.
Yeah I don't see why not. Just don't sand the grout down as smooth
