62: While I had the airbrush out, I also weathered the
wheels and trucks. The wheels are placed in a small
jig so I can weather them without getting any of the
weathering on the treads. It eliminates the need to
clean the treads afterwards.
I also weather the trucks without the wheelsets in
place. This way I can get the coverage on the inside
of the truck that I desire. After weathering, the trucks
and wheelsets are put together and then set aside.
The cars will be weathered without the trucks in
place. I find this method works well. It allows me
to weather the underside of the car without over-
spraying the trucks and wheelsets.
