Another Fordson project in 1/16th scale

[Bill Gill]

Chuck, Do you find a significant advantage intially applying graphite with a cosmetic sponge rather than just rubbing the soft pencil over the area?
I ask because when I first saw the effect you got using graphite (years back) I started using it also to add a little highlight or create a burnished weathered iron look, but maybe because my stuff is smaller HO scale, it seems like there's better control using a penil and burnishing it with an artist's paper stump.

Your wonderful weathering front and center!

[Chuck Doan]

Thanks Jerry. Bill, that works too, I was trying to get a duller sheen here. I did apply the pencil directly on the edges.

[Chuck Doan]

Adding more grease. I am using a mix of black and brown oil paints, mixed with fine powdered dirt. Stippled on with a brush, and/or dabbed on with a piece of cosmetic sponge held with tweezers. Also sometimes mixed with Bragdon pigments.

Looks like an old CD works pretty well as a palette.

Finally, one of Russ's CDs finds a good use. !

My CDs may not be art but at least they can contribute to it. Nick, you may come out of the corner in 2028. -- Russ

Cor , that soon ? Does that mean I can come out early if I behave myself? That might be asking too much of me .

That depends on how many of my CDs Chuck uses as pallets between now and then. -- Russ

Don't worry, not yours Russ, it was the soundtrack to Paint Your Wagon.

Can't say much Chuck I just agree with the rest of the gang.

[Sami]

What more can I say about quality of work than other members ?
