CNW Outside Brace Boxcars

 

An overall look at the boxcar with Floquil grime on the running boards and a gray tone on the roof beneath the PanPastels.

I recently added some weathering to my CNW boxcar. It is a Sunshine Models 1927 era boxcar which is outside braced. The model was built years ago with no weathering at that time. It got a face lift this past winter and spring with some AK products and PanPastel powders. The roof is painted AK rainmarks with a coat of PanPastel raw umber shade and red iron oxide extra dark applied.

The running boards are done with Floquil grime and a coat of PanPastel raw umber shade. The doors and lower area got a coat of PanPastel paynes grey extra dark. Some paper placards are applied to all four tack boards...George Dutka 

Some chalk marks are added along with some light weathering along the bottom edge of the car.

A better look at the roof weathering. The door got a placard on the tackboard. It is just a small piece of white paper with the back sanded to thin it down. It is then randomly cut to size. I left the door fairly clean on this side of the model.
