I experimented with a new weathering product tonight. It is called PAN PASTELS. I read aboput it on one of the armor modeling sites I frequent. This product has found a home in my arsenal of weathering products. This stuff is so nice to work with and I highly recommend it.
It is ground finer than pigments and has a much better adhesion than pigments. Not saying that pigments are bad. I used them with the pan pastels do build up a really fantastic dusty look. The pan pastels and the pigments compliment each other rather nicely. The layering is beautiful.
You can get this product at any good art supply store or order it online. It comes in many colors from earth tones to bright vibrant colors.
In about an hour (it is uploading now), my video will be up showing this product. youtu.be/V2lFk4nj2Cg

I just found out about them yesterday. I do not read or buy any of the modeling magazines. Once in awhile I pick up a Diesel Era if it has interesting subjects in it.

I've been using eye makeup powders since the 1980s. This was my first attempt on a locomotive.

do you apply anything over the pan pastels once done? I remember a bunch of people on the rust bucket talking about pan pastels.

do you apply anything over the pan pastels once done? I tried my first weathering with pan pastels last night. It looked good at first, but after I tried to seal it with a rattle can of dullcote, the weathering just vanished. - Has anyone else seen this? - Is Testors/Model Master flat incompatible with pan pastels? - Should I be using a different product? If so what? Thanks Jim Connolly

Jim, my experience with Dullcote and weathering is you go a little heavy with your weathering as the rattle can Dullcote tends to mute the effect.

Dullcoat is pretty rough coming right out of the can, an airbrush would be better as the spray is finer. If you dont have an airbrush you can use Matte Finish from Krylon and that sprays much finer from the rattle can. I got it at Lowes or Home Depot I believe.
Robert is right though, even if you use chalks, the lighter colors tend to fade away if you dont put them on heavier before you seal them.
On a side note I saw that Krylon has "model" paints in small jars now, that was at my local True Value store. There wasnt a large selection but here is another option for the lose of Floquil and PollyScale paints.

Brian,
Just finished watching that series of videos...a ton of great knowledge there...I think I will be sleeping with your videos playing in my dreams though...a lot to absorb! lol
I too love the Pan pastels, in Canada they are available at Curries art store. Credit Valley Railroad carries them too.
Thanks for the vids!

I tried using Pan Pastels for some weathering just last week. I was very happy with the look, I did seal it with Dullcote. I used a light coat and everything I put on looks just like it did before I sealed it. I'll take some pics when I get home next week.
