Flatcars

[Iain]

Four numbers, so four car string.  I have to finish the above's deck and ends.  The tank is hollowed out in case I need to add some weight; it is not yet glued.

Eventually I will add the chocks, chains, etc.
Weathering is with chalk, wash, and drybrushing, although in opposite order.

What, no criticism on the weathering?  Ignore the tank for now.

Probably a little heavy on the rust. I'd tone that down a bit.

Here are some ideas for tie downs:

I'm more interested in the tiedowns since I'm working on a couple flats with military equipment.

Oh this is Railwire  sorry I thought I was on (Censored by FCC)

Your drybrushin' is not dry enough, try wiping the paint off until it takes multiple passes with the brush
to get any color on the model. try to keep your rust effects vertical (I have a huge problem with that - King of odd angles  :-[) 

I like what you've done with the chalk keep it up there's great effects you can get with chalk...

a string of military equipment will look great! Post more photos!

Another thing when modeling tanks on flats.  Don't place the top machine gun on the tank.  They were kept inside the tank during transit, or sometimes in a box on the flat with the tank.

Actually wasn't thinking of the machine gun since the Walmart Specials don't come with 'em.  What you see is what I bought that morning.

They are growing legs otherwise?

Not a buff in weathering here, but the rust looks heavy to me.
