In the first of a three-part Backshop Clinic series, Miles Hale demonstrates classic techniques for casting and painting rock, including instructions for making your own latex moulds.  In part one he discusses commercial molds and pouring plaster. - See more at: http://trainmasters.tv/videos/2016-01-1#sthash.XKbh741W.dpuf

For project 2, Mike Confalone weathers a light gray Engelhard covered hopper. In this episode, Mike shows how to add Kaolin spills down the side of the car, he illustrates very subtle weld seam rusting, shows how to add lading spills to the top of the car, and demonstrates oil wash flood-weathering of the underframe.

Watch it now on TrainMasters TV ....

5 Stars!

Yup, another home run. I'm enjoying all of this. It was great to see the magic of the oils at work for the rust streaks. Very cool!

Mike & Gary Combo...

Have enjoyed both Mike and Gary C.'s techniques.  Currently working on an EL gray boxcar utilizing the Gary wash for fade and the Mike tutorial for some subtle rust streaks.  Unfortunately the AM alarm clock has no sympathy for fun so it will be a continuation for tomorrow.  Almost can't wait to finish it.
