Thanks Deemiorgos,

I'm hoping to see some of the pro's here show off there stuff...

just for reference... when did RRs begin to let cars rust

OK, I'll bite....

Here's a PC car that I did entirely using Artist's oils.

I attempted to simulate PCA 166134 from March of 1980 as seen here on RR Pictures Archive.Net. Courtesy of Ron Hawkins.

Nice Job Paul...

Here's a few I did awhile back.

These were all done with oils.

First and oil wash, wiped off with a "Q" tip.

Next, straight oil applied with a brush and sponge of two different colors, Burnt Sienna followed by Raw Sienna.

Finally dusted with a mix of brown and orange chalks.  I sealed them with Dull Coat after each application.

Some of these got dulcoat after the pics to flatten them a little still.

Sorry for weird rotation. 

Here's a Couple

This Tangent car was weathered mostly with chalks.

While this Intermountain car was weathered with acrylics, including washes and full-strength paints applied with a makeup sponge.

One done years gone by. Phil

You guys are good!  How about if I send you each a box of box cars to weather . . .

It's "easy"...

Micheal - you just have to start somewhere...

Artist's oils, IMO, are an easy place to start. You really only need three colors: Raw Umber, Burnt Umber and Burnt Sienna. You'll also need some good quality Artist's mineral spirits. You can use brushes or make-up sponges.

The beauty of using oils is that if you don't like your results, your can basically just wipe them off because they dry so slow. That's also a down-side though because they do take quite awhile to dry. I always let my projects sit 24 hours before doing anything else with them.

Give it a go....

A few ..
