Description
OK, time to go inside those hoppers!
They get the same treatment, an acrylic rust wash. But this time, it\\\'s a wash of Grimy Black, Rust and a hint of Flat Aluminum.
I used a cotton swab and \\\"blue windshield washing fluid\\\" to really scrub the inside of the plastic shell; to make sure that the paint wash covers evenly. It looks awful to have the wash \\\"bead up\\\" around a bit of residule casting release oil. So scrub it down and then wash on the paint - all sides at once. Then let it dry, sitting on it\\\'s wheels. The paint wash gently washes down the side walls in a very realistic pattern.
Let the first coat dry and then come back later to see if any addiditonal paint washes are necessary.
I\\\'ll probably add a wash of \\\"Engine Black\\\" below the line where the loaded coal sits and grinds into the side walls.
