Adding Rust Spots to a Steel Mineral Wagon

A first try at videoing some weathering to include as a blog entry. I'm not sure that this is the best way of doing this, but I expect there will be somebody out there who can provide guidance.

Nice to see you trying out the video format, Mick.  Maybe you need one of these? :)

 

(I have no idea if they're any good. never tried one).

Thanks, Mikkel. I expect it will work fine, but I'm wondering how to wear it . . . . . . . . .

 

. . . . . . . . and when!  :jester:

Hi Mick,

 

Do you use anything to seal the weathering powders? I have found that most varnishes seem to either blow away (when sprayed) or otherwise diminish the appearance of the powders.

 

All the best,

 

Jack

Hi Jack,

 

I never seal the last application of any of my weathering materials. You are absolutely right - spraying vernish on top of weathering tones and textures alters them and blends them together.

 

I do seal layers, though, when I am happy at a certain point in the process and want to go on to the next stage without spoiling what has already been done. That does not happen very often, because of the changes as mentioned.

 

Kind regards,

 

Mick.

Try using a Toothbrush and run the screwdrive along it.

 

Hi Luke,

 

Thank you for the suggestion. I have tried using an old toothbrush, some time ago, but found that the volume of paint and area covered was significantly less controllable than using normal paintbrush. It would work, though, if the bristles on the toothbrush were reduced in number and density.

 

KInd regards,

 

Mick.
