Host Aaron Skinner takes up the task of adding realistic weathering effects to make the trucks and machinery on your layout appear like they’ve been working hard. Follow along to learn his techniques for modeling chipped paint, adding dirt and grime, getting a little mud on the tires, and highlighting exposed metal edges!
Just to be technically accurate, that Cat 315 is a backhoe, not a shovel. (Shovels dig, hoes drag)
Also: I, too, would like to know how to navigate the site better in order to find earlier vids.
Aaron: what is the brand of the very nice, fine (0? 00?) brush you are using in #13? I need one. Thank you.
Thanks Aaron
How do you you find the complete series of Air brushing with Aaron? This is episode 13 and I do see a few more links. But using the navigation features that are at the top of the page I can not find this series. Not in Series and not in How To’s.
Excellent, Thank You!
They look terrific, Aaron. I appreciate that MRVP and FSM are corroborating to expose model railroaders to the products and techniques armor modelers have been using for years, and how beautifully they apply to railroad models. Thank you.
Great job Aaron, those look very prototypical, well used and hard working vehicles. I’m guessing the tracks are rubber, but with a flat coat on it first, the #2 pencil stock nicely to them. That’s a great way to do hi lighting, very light, but it pops them enough to make them stand out.
Nice to see your series back, I like how much I learn from these episodes.
That was great… Gives food for thought.. Thank you..
Like your idea of using pencil “lead” to “shine” things up.
Wow, that was awesome! I like that “mud” product
