“Ridiculous Preciseness” The new phrase of 2023 by Dan the Man! Another incredible video! Always look forward to your next post!

Dan, an excellent video regarding adding rust weathering to a car. Very easy steps, and a superb presentation.

oh i like this technique... thanks for posting...

Love the fading away effect. Will try this for sure 👍

You my friend have taken weathering to another level!!! Your cars look amazing!! THANK YOU for sharing!!!

Awesome video man, always look forward to your great content.

Great video! Can’t wait to see another layout update.

That is awesome. Exactly what I needed to weather up some CP boxcars and hoppers. I see this weathering pattern everywhere. Thx so much for another excellent video.

If you put the oil paint on a paper towel, allow to sit 4-5 hours minimum, it dries much faster. The towel absorbs the linseed oil allowing the paint to dry quicker. I’ve went as long as 24 hours with excellent results. Great video, watched many of your clips, excellent.

Will be trying this next week. I tried it on a paper envelop and it looked great

Very nice! Thanks for demonstrating this technique.

Thanks for the lesson.

Thank you Dan, for all your tutorials … great work

BES T RESOURCE FOR WEATHERING, HANDS DOWN!! Thank you Dan!!

Really nice result I'll be trying this. Look forward to the rest of the weathering tips on this Hopper.

Great technique for creating the rust effect. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome technique. Thanks for sharing your skills!!!

OUTSTANDING!!!

Nicely done. Great teaching lesson.

Beautiful job, thanks for sharing.

You are a blessing to model railroading 👍

You are the Top G of weathering!

Outstanding! Good to know especially for already painted things.👍

Outstanding short clinic narration and presentation as always!

Great simple technique! Will have to bookmark these videos you do, I'll be weathering up a group of 15 covered hoppers soon (data only's from Accurail that I'm putting my own fictional road names onto). Keep up the great work, these tricks are super helpful to learn!

Great technique. Artist oils are my go to weathering medium.

love these dan

Thats an amazing technique Dan! im going to try it on the top of some tank cars! thanks for this! Cheers Wade

another excellent video shale for the eyes 👌

That looks awesome

Nice work. I use oils and a little 70% alcohol for a drippy effect. works for me.

That looks great, and much easier than I would have expected it to be. I'm glad to have discovered your channel! One thing I noticed you doing but not talking much about, that the "Boomer Diorama | River Railroad" channel mentioned on his recent oil-paint video: When you put the paint on some paper like that, the paper pulls some of the oil out of the paint, concentrating the pigment, and that makes it work better in techniques like this.

Everytime nice and great videos. Thx for that German greets scotti

I just got interested in weathering, so ill be starting with the cheap tyco cars to practice

Instant Sub...thank you!

Brilliant

That does look really good, Dan. It’s amazing how such a simply bit of work makes the model look so much more “real”.

Neat trick I learned from you

Thanks for educate me with your channel. I don’t do model train cars tho I design train liveries on a videogame Train Sim World 2.

Nice job Dan, came out real cool. Can you do a video on streaking, using oil on sponge but pulling straight down, as opposed to the blotting technique? I'm always challenged by the rust streaking. Take care - Bill

Thank you sir I appreciate it go video

Nice video and great results with the sponge. Did you apply the paint straight over the factory finish? I've had trouble getting paint to stick to a factory finish in the past.

Dude you have to try the Distress Oxide I been doing my own test and it works beautiful

I have really good luck with PanPastel artist's pastels on my N Scale cars. Then a light application of Testors Dullcote does the trick !

Hi Dan, here is Billy from Brazil. I have watch your videos, it's amazing. But now, I'd like to know if you have some videos weathering models using airbrush. If it is possible, could you post some for us? Tanks for your time, and congrats for your work.

@Dan, excellent idea. How long would a covered hopper be in service to develop this rustyness? (How old is the prototype photo?)

Nice job from a new subscriber. I've done similar weathering using gouache. I thought oils needed mineral spirit to blend, but I see yours say Water Mixible. Are they similar to gouache? Thanks.

What pens do you use for doing the custom graffiti?

Nice video Dan. The rust effect came out very nice. It's amazing how the sponge can achieve such a good effect. Would this also work with Acrylic paints as well provided that they are slightly thinned down? - Nicholas.

Do you flat coat the car before adding the rust affects? I assume that you flat coat between different layers. Thanks for sharing your experience. I know it represents the results of your own experimentation. As always, a fantastic video!

you should design graffiti decals - that would look cool

Great technique and good ideas, So, whose your favorite drummer? I'm a Steve Gadd guy but there are many other great drummers out there.

I've seen covered hopper cars that are really beat up

Dan, can you clear up something for me: 1.) Is "clear coating" the same as "dull coating"? 2.) I'm considering buying a bottle/can of Gloss Clear Coat - Hobby and Model Lacquer Paint so, is this what I should use to clear coat my new models right out of the box before I start weathering? 3.) When should I apply dull coat? 4.) I've heard it said to wash a new car in warm soapy water to get any injection molding flash remaining on the model? Is that necessary?

Where do you buy sponges like that ? Thanks.

I do like that technique with the sponge. I make my own rust powder by putting about 3 or 4 rolls of 0000 steel wool in a quart jar and fill it up with white vinegar and set it in the window for about a couple of months. After the steel wool is pretty much dissolved I pour the mixture in a flat pan (one of my old stainless steel photo processing pans - 11x14) and wait for it to completely dry. You could use a glass baking dish. Then I use a single edge razor blade and pulverize the rust into a fine powder and store it in a little (snuff) can. When I get ready to use it on a piece of rolling stock I usually use my X-acto (AproXimo) knife and make gouges in the sides of the car. Then I fill the gouge with my rust. It really looks real, 'cause it is REAL rust. The rust powder is usually mixed with some distilled water, a little alcohol and water soluble glycerin and paint it on or use a little spatula to put it on. Then I use a final topcoat of clear matte acrylic topcoat. Cheers from eastern TN

Wonder what brand you're using now that Anita's is gone? So many of the paints are horrible. The more expensive tubes etc aren't good for weathering. Too wet, oily...not the same dry look.

great video, could you put a link to your insta as im having trouble finding it
