Part VIII - Weathering the Beast
As alluded to in the last entry, I weathered the cab without the glazing insert. Most of the stuff I put on it was just black PanPastel on the roof, some simulated oil, dirt and rust on the rest of the shell. Since this unit was only a few years old, I didn't use much rust. Also hit the trucks and visible understructure with a dull gray paint and added a few highlights. Overdusted the trucks and fuel tank with gray PanPastel. The look I was shooting for was relatively new, but with not a whole lot of effort on aesthetics. Here are a couple of shots of the finished project. Started on Monday, finished by Saturday night with a lot of starts and stops. The Delaware and Hudson has "new" power available....
