weathering powders by clearway

I know they arn't ships but weathered these using airfix light rust for the lighter patches and a bit of dark earth for the darker shades- stippled into the paint while still tacky.

Thanks Keith.

Down sized image so it will be easier to enlarge on here. Inside the hoppers were painted gun metal then light rust was stippled in.

Thanks Keith.

your welcome, been trying to achieve this look for yearrs till i discovered the weathering powder. they certianly give a more realistic appearance than just using paint.

Yet again apologies for not being ships but weathered the edges of the tracks with a mixture of humbrol rust and dark earth and thinned matt 29 paint as a keying coat.

i know it isn't ships, but been playing around with weathering again- the wagon on the left was weathered using humbrol rust wash which then had some removed using a cotton bud in a rolling motion and the covered van was given a base coat of black primer, then a coat of red brown after which the woodwork was given a wash of humbrol satin 133 bauxite and the underframe a wash of humbrol matt 67 tank grey.
