GN Covered Hopper - Weathering Job

This model is a Micro Train Lines (MTL) 3 Bay ACF Centerflow, painted for Great Northern.  Out of the box, it is a very blue, plastic-looking model.  I washed it down with a mix of Floquil Dirt and B&M blue to fade the color and to wash out the graphics.  I then hit the body with Bragdon Enterprises weathering powders to show dirt, grime and rust.  Lastly, I used acrylics to compliment the grime and rust.
