Started some weathering this week

I finally plucked up the courage to do some weathering on my Kadee cars (and others) this week. These are early attempts and far from Mellow-Mike standards, but I'm learning.

:thumb: The cars look great. I have done a few cars and yes there is a learning process. I started on cars that I do not worry if they come out looking like mistakes. I have read in the mrr magazines and forum's post on weathering. I have bought the materials to do weathering, chalks, paint, etc.
I live right near a secondary and yard and the cars weathering and the rust, etc are not the same so mistakes might come looking very interesting.

They look like they have put in a lot of service Jon. Just like the real thing.

They look fine, Jon. :thumb: Look great. :)

One chalk colour that I found very useful for weathering is white. As a final dusting, sparingly used.

Those look simply amazing! Did you follow a specific tutorial or just myriad advice and ideas from different sources? I'd like to hear some of the steps to your process.
