Great idea. You posted some really nice realistic modern cars. For those of us modeling an older say late 50s era where weathering was a bit more subdued do you have decals and techniques for those as well. Visual references can be obtained in looking at Jim Six's blog on freight cars, as that will be the look I am after.

Really like how realistic your stuff looks.

How about  company name or

How about  company name or link to a website where the decals can be ordered, or an explanation of how they were made.

I thought that the idea of

I thought that the idea of using decals for rust detailing to be quite interesting. There were a few pages of the article that had an awful lot of white space at the bottom of the page. It looks like text is missing. Is it? Don't ever remember seeing that much blank space in the magazine. Are there graphics or text missing? Looked out of the ordinary...

decals?

"I thought that the idea of using decals for rust detailing to be quite interesting"

   It would probably be a good teaching tool but I think it would get old real quick. Trying to patch enough decals together to do a whole car is more work than just painting it not to mention the sameness that would result from using decals over and over on different cars? I've done some decaling with decals made from photos of the real cars and they are handy for graffiti but still hard to cut out and apply without needing a touch up with paint........DaveB

Had me fooled until....

The last few shots in the 'yard' had me fooled until I took a closer look at the track.  Tie plates and spikes on every rail would have made the illusion complete.  Even so, Stellar work, as usual.  Keep modeling and thanks for sharing!

Very clever!

I agree that a novice would do well with decaled weathering.  Back when I was a young lad doing 1/35th military models (in the 70s) an airbrush was an exotic expense, but was well-worth it when I eventually got one.  My LHS's didn't offer weathering powders (if they even existed??) so weathering anything was a chore, until I got that airbrush.  Doing model train cars, in that era and at the level of skill, these decals would have been a god-send!  Perhaps a tedious thing today for a well-supplied modeler, but even one of those could find a nice quick weathering solution for a new car using these decals.  Pun intended.  A few of these on a few cars could bring your new stuff up-to-date with the rest of the fleet, for a show or whatever.

I especially like the fact they can be applied under the walk-way, as stated in the video this can be hard to achieve with a brush or airbrush. For someone starting out this is a good thing!

I have to say also that the seams seem rather seem-less..(pun again intended)....perhaps a trick of the lighting but the decal edges disappear and look rather thin, which I think is a good thing as they're easier to 'bury' under finishing coats of clear.

Cleanliness

I like the aspect that is the decals make your car old and dirty looking, without using the dirt and powders for weathering and making a mess. Decals are the way for me, Thanks.
