[attachment=2:zsry62r6]image.jpeg[/attachment:zsry62r6]Update to the C&EI build. Using a mix of the prototype photos I came up with this well weathered scheme. Car was sprayed with thinned Dullcote and allowed to dry for a few days. I then used water based oils to add rust streaks and some rust spots along the cars sides. I used black and brown colored pencils to add more rust spots to match the patterns shown in photos. I’ll seal this with another layer of Dullcote. The roof was weathered before adding the Kadee roof walk using water based oil paints and brown dry pigments. The Branchline roofs can be predrilled with the Kadee 40′ roof walks fitting perfectly.
I added some additional photos showing weathering using colored pencils and water solutable oil paints. For those attending the annual convention at Jefferson City in October I’ll be giving a clinic on how to weather MP freight cars.
