Should you weather your models?
• Fading, rusting, and dirt accumulation begins as soon as a piece of rolling stock leaves the paint shop and hits the rails.
• Unless a crew of painters has just finished painting a building, much the same is true for structures.
• So, some degree of weathering is called for in almost all situations on our models.
• This doesn’t mean that every model should look decrepit. Remember, variety is the spice of life!

Powders will adhere to various surfaces in different fashions
Powders will adhere to porous surfaces more aggressively than they will to
styrene, for example.
Spraying with Dull Cote will provide ‘tooth’ on non-porous surfaces.
