Well I'm trying this out and Im slowly getting better it will just take a lot of practice I have tried three so far (In order) 1) All airbrushed Shell tank car ( I hated the shiny and looks like I burned it) 2) another tank car, black is airbrushed rust is powder 3) Santa Fe Unit all powder I think its starting to look better but I have around 10 more junk cars and 3 or 4 engines that are junk to practice on.

We all started out someplace, some are better then others, wish i had the talent some guys have at weathering, We Just have to practice, I recall my first engines i was working on some 12 years ago, the cheap stuff before I learned of the better stuff, brush painted never the less, and I will never ever show them to anyone, lol.

the best advice is to study photos of the prototype object you are weathering and copy it like you were painting from it , weathering isn't just hap hazard or it looks wrong , also subtlety is a key point , lesss is more is a phrase to keep in mind

I've been weathering for 20 years, and still not an "expert"! Best advice I can do.... Start light. Add more until you are satisfied. It's easier to add than remove!
