A new addition to my weathering palette is Abteilung's oil paints. I bought the rust shades and tried them out on this Hornby Seacow with very impressive results. I think that these oils will have a limited range of uses at the moment (at least until I gain more experience with them) for my rolling stock as they are quite clearly ideally suited to slab sided steel wagons. Maybe I can talk one of my AMRC colleagues to let me have a go at some of their American wagon stock.
The wagons had been weathered using Tamiya pigments already, the oils were used to create the rusty spots with staining streaking down from the sides. Just a small amount on a round brush or cocktail stick is enough for the smaller spots which are developed using a flat brush moistened with thinners in vertical streaks. I finished the effect with a light misting of track grime from an airbrush.
