Very nice Shawn! I like it! What program are you using to do the weathering? I experimented on some of my models, it came out OK, but I like the weathering you have done on your locos Keep up the good work >Mike Forster<

RE: Weathering Again..

Looks good Shawn! When I've tried to weather stuff it turns out mottled.One suggestion ..... the trucks are a nice dirty brown, as they always seem to get, but the fuel tank should match them if you can (not sure how the model is textured).krswen

RE: Weathering Again..

Weathering Again – image 15

it increases the amount of colors the sim can show on the unit, thus elimination of gradient colors being turned ugly, The compromise is windows are now 100% clear, leaving no room for glass textures

From where I sit (i.e. the height of ignorance when it comes to painting) it would seem that this compromise is more than acceptable; indeed, it's almost laudable. Speaking solely for m'self, I would rather have 'better' colors than textured glass. Textured glass has, in my experience seeing it, a tendency to 'stick out' and be noticeable. Go with what you've got; they look good.

Excellent work, Shawn. The loss of the window texture is more than worth the improved look of the weathering.Jonathan Nikiforovs.
