New Toys, Part II

[Rudy Garbely]

So... I picked this up over break as well from the Reading Technical & Historical Society museum in Hamburg, PA. This got a combination of a few different colors of oil pastels and some weathering powders (used mostly for the spills on the roof).






Side-by-side comparison between this and the Rio Grande hopper I did a few days ago:

I like it! Maybe you could tone it down a little with a black wash or something to help the colors blend. BTW, how did you do the concrete spillage on top? I love the chunky effect! I have a bunch of ex RI blue cement acf's to do and I like your technique!

Rudy the cars look great. I too like the spillage effect on the roof top.

It's light grey weathering powder. I got a clump on the end of a brush and piled it up around the edges of the doors. Then dullcoted it. Ta da! That's all there was to it.

The cement build up around the roof hatches may have been simple to do but it's quite effective. Good job and thanks for the tip.
