Locomotive sandhouse - 5
7: Stain the car
sideswith dilutions
of PollyScale Light
Freight Car Red. I
use airbrushmedium
to thin the paint.
Start with a high
dilution. Brush from
top tobottom; avoid
covering all the boards near the bottom of the
sides. Repeat this process a few timeswith less-
dilutedpaint. The object is to coat the siding at the
top of thewall more heavily than at the bottom,
leaving some exposedweatheredwood.
