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 6, Mike Confalone weathers a B&O coal hopper. For this car, Mike demonstrates some basic dirty working car weathering and how you can stop there in many cases. Then using a prototype photo, Mike goes on with this specific car to do a unique yellow-orange rust fade on the panels and ribs using oils, and then accents it with PanPastels to get this rusted hard-working coal hopper.

Watch it now on TrainMasters TV ....

Great weathering job!

Mike, I really like how this project turned out. I must admit when you pulled out the bright yellow, I was some what skeptical..... But wow, looks amazing.

On a side note, would you consider a black tank car weathering demo? (Procor or similar)

I would like to see how to end up with a realistic weathering job on one of these.

Possible bonus segment ........ lol.

Thanks again for the great tutorials!!

Scott
