It's hardly "peer reviewed," but you might recognize the author:

I like seeing great weathering like that. It's always nice to throw new tecniques into your bag of tricks.

Oh, and most importantly...NEVER do today what can safely be sloughed off till tomorrow!

Looks nice, but can those pics get any smaller? (I wanted to look closer).

Craig does what he does.  I sent him huge, 5MB photos.  It is what it is.

Maybe that website is hosted on the same provider that hosts Spookshow's website?  56k modem safe?  :trollface:
If you read this, I'm just giving you hard time Spook.  :)

Dave,
 Let us know if you get a similar result applying the dull coat after the wash. I am looking for a good boxcar rooftop look.

I liked the article a lot. Not something I do well I have to admit is metal roofing. Freight cars and locos - no worries. Thanks for the link. I'll keep that in my info list when I need to do some metal roofing in the near future.

I remember when I stumbled & bumbled into the Dullcote/Alcohol haze reaction. I had just completed a building model and applied Dullcote. I placed it on the layout and was applying ground cover to blend it in and grabbed my spray bottle with rubbing alcohol to wet everything out, of course spraying the building down. OH SH!T... everything turned milky white!!! I panicked and grabbed my weathering chalks to try and salvage it, but to no avail... But when it dried, like magic the grayish painted “metal” roof & siding suddenly looked exactly like old galvanized metal. Hmmm...

Had a lot of compliments on my “skillful” weathering techniques on that building. All due to dumb luck.
