Wow!!!
Beautiful!
December 16, 2015 at 3:13 am #7613peggyrothschildParticipantCan you share your technique? Air brush, oil paints, military pigments…it came out great.
December 16, 2015 at 10:50 am #7615mopacKeymasterOf course, yes, Charlie. Thanks.
First step are 4 thin airbrushed layers with Vallejo 501 white wash. After one night drying I have covered some areas with masking tape.
Then I added 2 more layer of white wash. After drying I removed the masking tape.
Then I mixed Vallejo 505 light rust wash and 517 dark gray wash. All without thinning.
With this mix I added the dirt to the shell, and chassis in several layers with the airbrush.
For the roof I used MIG oil paint. Abt060 Light rust brown for the roof struts, Abt070 dark rust for the rest.
Then I added earth brown scraped chalk thick onto the oil paint and pound it with a short cut brush into the oil paint.
The next day the whole caboose got a coating with matte clear coat.
Hope it helps.

I’ve been looking for a technique to lightly fade the Jenks blue on my GP38-2. When you air brushed the Vallejo 501 white is it already in the bottle ready to airbrush and then I’m reading you are thinning in more; what paint to thinner ratio are you using? What thinner are you using? I’ve only used Vallejos acrylics for brush painting and they are fairly thick out of the bottle so that’s why my airbrushing questions.
Who’s matt coat are you using too, I’ve used Dullcote and Tru-Colors matt and both seem to change the base color. Tru-Color more than Dullcote.

for the matt coat I use Mr.Color H20, thinned with Mr.Color Thinner 110.
But be careful – if the H20 is not thinned enough it will dry with a white fade.
Better to thin it a bit more than needed and to add one more layer.
It will also fade a little when it is thin enough when it is applied but when it dries, the fading leaves.
The Vallejo wash don’t have to be thinned, but you could. For thinning I like to use distilled water.
You can see the use of Vallejo white wash on this photo :
The bottom left unit is without fading,the 2 other ones with 5 thin layers. On #1962 I added two more layers in the bottom area.

September 20, 2016 at 11:18 pm #8090bargetanikaParticipantI’d like to know how you did the finely textured dirt and gravel along the road, and the road too.
