Hi Scott

 

pretty simple to do im glad to say

 

all i used was posca paint pens / black and brown

 

a little bit of water in a cup and cotton buds and a rag

 

simply apply the paint pen on the train dab a bit of water on the cotton bud and

very lightly go over the paint in and around the area you want to weather the train sides and face

and let it dry and re do again to you get the effect you like, any excess paint just get the rag and wipe away

"i used black and brown"

 

 

for the roof just use the black pen and do the same thing again on the roof with a cotton bud and water

 

dont worry if used to much water at first you get used to what you want to use pretty quickly

and simply build up the effect you want in a few goes

 

the good thing is if you not happy what you see? you can re apply or take away with lots of water if you wish

with a rag, and simply re do it again

 

its not like powders which come off in your hands once dry hence why i thought i give this ago

 

these are the paint pens they do come in a brush pen if you prefer
