Weathering A Wooden Outside-Braced Boxcar Circa 1950

Most boxcar weathering we see tends to be metal-sided versions, but doing an older wooden boxcar needs some different techniques. I've had a number of these to do for a maintenance equipment fleet so have perfected some simple techniques that give good results for this era. I'll show how to vary your wash results, use a paint marker for detailing, and apply dry pigment for dirt effects. I cover the full process in this video - no shortcuts.
