23. The car ends are prepped
with Dullcote, and ready for
weathering. The grime has
been added simulating the
typical road dust on the ends
of cars.

As on the boxcar
sides, I paint the dark
rust patterns so typi-
cal on prototype box-
car roofs exposed to
the elements. I use
the same colors used
to create the rust pits
and scratches on the
sides of the boxcar
– burnt sienna and
black acrylic. When
all of the rust pat-
terns between the
weatherized seams
have been hand-
painted in multiple
coats , I applied a
mist of Dullcote. Next
I use the Graham
& Co. “Transparent
Orange Oxide” oil
paint to add the halo effect. This pretty much completes
the roof. Once in a while, I dry-brush a light layer of a
dark-gray pastel powder for a burnished rust look.
