Here below are photos of progress on the current project for eBay. Roof was done with five different mediums and has a rust texture and feel to it. One side is basically almost finished weathering wise. Graffiti needs to be applied as yet and faded per the prototype. Areas were patched today for new lettering […]

You’ll find my models for sale on my eBay store listed under the name: stephecampbel82. Come check out my weathered models! You’ll also find me on both Facebook and Instagram under the name The Weathering Depot…..

A few changes will be coming to the website soon as I change up some things, perhaps even the theme, but hang in there, we’re not going anywhere!

So progress today on the current project! Faded the entire car with Vallejo pale blue acrylic, followed by faded white over the logo plus car numbers on the sides. This white area was then lightly brushed with off white Pan Pastels to blend it in a bit. Next up came taking a micro brush dipped […]

Here’s the next project on the workbench, this Athearn 50’ Rock Island boxcar: This guy will hopefully be turned into this when finished: I just started on this one yesterday, with the underside primarily being done with a mixture of Vallejo black-grey paint plus medium brown. When dry, a brown wash was dabbed over the […]

Here are several more models recently finished and on eBay for sale:

This website by WordPress I’ve decided to keep going after all for several reasons. Please check out however my fairly new website on another provider for my HO scale layout here: https://cincinnatiterminalsub.blogspot.com/?m=0

Here again is another recent project that just sold on eBay! This guy was purchased new off eBay from a local modeler. This is an Atlas 50’ ft boxcar , and below is how it looked out of the box. Actually, photo below as it appears after a fade coat! This one really turned out […]

I’ve been busy with layout and commission work these many months , so here goes on some recent projects including one I just finished. This one is a Walther’s Mainline series C&NW 3 bay covered hopper. First steps were to fade this olive green color as shown below but also show how the car looked […]

Here are photos of this finished project of seven woodchip cars plus a WP caboose for a client in California:

Good morning everyone! It’s been awhile since I’ve posted here, as I’ve been posting on the new site! Again, this website will close eventually with my new site taking over. In the meantime, here is some commission work that I’ve obtained from a follower out of state. This is a group of seven Intermountain woodchip […]

Sad to say my weathering work has stopped temporarily as my paint spray booth of 14 years gave up the ghost today and quite working. Another one has been ordered with an estimated delivery date of six days from now!

This Scale Trains hopper is now completed and is on eBay for sale. This car took a week to complete using four different weathering mediums. Photos below of the car:

Project just started today, and progress so far. This Scale Trains car already has four different weathering mediums on it, including acrylic paint, rust texture, washes, and powder. When finished this will go up on the eBay store. Photos below of the car in the box and as of tonight:

Here’s my next project, in between working on several HOn3 cars. More photos when started. I’m going to hopefully replicate this car: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3969315

If you haven’t visited the Colorado Model Railroad Museum in Greeley, Colorado, I highly recommend you put it on your bucket list of museums to see. Not only will you see a world class 5,000+ square foot model railroad run by volunteers, but also a lot of railroad memorabilia plus the last wooden caboose used […]

Another project finished! This one just went up on eBay today. One of a kind special edition car made by Rapido for the Colorado Model Railroad Museum in Greeley, Colorado. The car was weathered with six different weathering mediums. Here’s a look at the finished model:

Here I’ve started on the Rapido boxcar. So far I’ve applied acrylic paint to dirty up the car a bit, applied several mediums to the doors then took most back off leaving this effect, and applied a dirt colored powder down the sides. Here is how the car looked again out of the box and […]

At the recent Colorado Railroad Prototype Meet I purchased quite a few new cars to weather up and put on ebay. Here they are:

Here is another recent project that is now finished. Note the built up grime on the car sides and underside:
