Hi Gary, thanks for you comments & glad you liked it (even tho it's HO
). One interesting thing about 'subtle' is that when the car is upright you don't notice the weathering on the bottom bays nearly as much, but turn it on its side and it can look almost overdone. Funny how the eye can see the same thing in different ways. The graffiti doodles are a white gel pen, getting a fine line takes a pretty light touch and then still if you look close you can see I smeared it a bit. For black I used the Pigma Micron 005 tip. Both inks come out kinda bold/glossy so they have to be toned down with a bit of grime.
I'll see about lining up the cars, tho that track is only about 2' long, so you may see a few of those push pins that I stick in at the ends to keep the cars from rolling off....
