  • The comprehensive (Part 3) Sunday episode follows this midweek tip. Acrylic paint washes (wet-on-wet) have the advantage of soft transitions and fast dry time with almost instant results. If you apply them super thin you avoid overwhelming the underlying color with room to correct things.

    Thank you! Since I started using your technique of water and letting the paint flow, I have been much more pleased with my weathering. Thanks again!

    • @boomerdiorama
      @boomerdiorama  Před 3 měsíci +1

      it makes a big difference if you use a drop of liquid detergent or wetting agent in the water as well. It relieves the surface tension and causes the acrylic pigment to blend better.

    A fantastic series to follow along with, and it couldn't be more perfectly timed. I've finally plucked up the courage to build Minnesota Commercial 316, one of two RS27s (the other is 318), from what was intended to be a spares loco when I bought it. Those two MNNR RS27s were in service for such a long time that there are a myriad of small changes to them that tell their story. Each is different in subtle ways too. It's been fun building and adding details, plus making a significant correction to the cab that pretty much every manufacturer has got wrong so far. Just applied the paint and decals, and so to final finishing and light weathering. You are spot on about a locomotive becoming cherished once you have put so much effort into building a specific unit. I've got an Atlas SD35 to play with too, so this series gives me some specific inspiration to perhaps super-detail it as well.
    If you ever feel the inclination, I know I would benefit from tips and tricks for decals and perhaps others would too. I hate decals with a passion and they fill me with dread every time even if I do manage good results in the end. It would be nice to have a little more confidence with them. Wonderful to see you saving a loco from the parts bin too.

    Nice use of the wet-on-wet for a locomotive. Did you do the same on the walkways? Looking down on motive power often shows weathered walways, but they can be fifficult to keep subtle.

    Boomer, the wet on wet you only use Vallejo Air, will Vallejo color work as well?

    • @boomerdiorama
      @boomerdiorama  Před 2 měsíci

      Absolutely! In fact the Vallejo colors should go further since they are heavier pigment at the start.

    Hello! What are you using to wet the parts before applying the dabs of weathering paints? Thank you!

      Water with a "tiny" drop of liquid detergent ( or wetting agent) for acrylic paint.

    What is a safe dry time between layers?

      Ten minutes or even less, depending how much water is pooled up in crevices etc. A fan helps to increase the dry time even faster. ;-)

    Your photos of the prototype Rail Link seems like that loco was just painted, will you lightly weather yours, like the prototype?
    I get the weathering, it looks very real but the money I spend on the locos and rolling stock, it’s hard to bring myself to mess up the new look. Like my 24 year old Buick Lasabre, it looks like new, I hate when it gets weathered 😂😂
    Maybe use water colors and powders so I can wash & wax em, LOL I must be anal/OCD😂😂😂
