been around awhile, building rigs for about 30 years off and on. Never got real good at it, ;D ;D ;D but I enjoy it. I'm still learning and getting better.
Never hurts to experiment. Just now dabblin' with weathering. Tips anyone???

Welcome to the truck stop, as for weathering I learned this from the militart modelers. Use oil paints for washes.

Welcome to our growing family ! It's great to have you here amongst us! Please don't hesitate to jump right in and share your modeling experiences as well as your work, tips and so forth. We have a top notch group of modelers here and you'll fit in great, of that I'm sure. As for weathering, I use pastels and washes for my projects. I find pastels can be a bit more forgiving than oils and acrylics and washes can be applied in light coats until you achieve the look you're wanting. You can check out my Iveco Turbo Star on this site and you'll see the weathering I'm talking about. All that was done with pastels. Again, welcome to the trucking family! it's great to have you here!!  |
