Finished...!

 Here's the other Rapido car I purchased recently that I'm now finished weathering. This car also was done with various mediums, acrylic paints, pigments, rust textures, and a wash. It'll join the fleet after the final seal is set up:

A BIG Thank You!....

Just s short blog post here to say thank you to those who have commissioned me to do weathering on their model trains. Things are not as rosy here in the state I reside in, and it doesn't help only relying on retirement when your wife's company downsized two months ago and left her without a good paying job. If it wasn't for my retirement and the income from weathering we would have been sunk! So a HUGE thank you to those modelers who I have done work for or those I may do work for in the future, it is very much appreciated every model I get to work on!

Another Rapido boxcar….

 Here’s another Rapido ex-Berlin Mills boxcar started for my layout. This one has so far a built up grime on the underside as shown plus the roof is done using multiple weathering mediums including my usual rust texture, as well as the ends are finished using acrylic paint, rust texture, and different pigments. Photos below of the progress. This car will remain on the layout while the first car is now listed on my new eBay store under the name “the weathering depot.” The car remains to be patched with some extra decals applied. Stay tuned for the finished model!

Another car finished for a modeler…

 Another car is in the books for one modeler back east. This Walther’s car was done with acrylic paint, brown wash, and dirt colored pigment plus Fusion decals:

Why the low stats?….

 Why are the stats/views here much lower than on my companion website for my layout? Well, I moved from my quite expensive website at another provider back to this one at Blogger. On the other website I had when I quit posting on that one about 8,000 + views. Hopefully those watching the old website will move to this one!

More commission work progress….

 Here’s just a few of the latest commission work that’s in progress at the moment, six assorted cars from one modeler and ten more hoppers from another modeler. For the ten hoppers I’m just awaiting more graffiti decals to eventually complete these:
