HOW-TO CLINICS
Weathering with the (non) Masters
Clinicians: Bill Cialini, Tim Ellis, and Bob Leonard – 3 ½ Hours – Cost $20 – Class is limited to 20 students -
This clinic will cover weathering three of the primary mediums used in weathering all of our toys, whether those toys are on the rails, or alongside of them. There are three clinicians that will teach their approach to weathering, Gouache paint, Pastels / Powders and Watercolor Pencils. We can’t teach airbrush techniques and practices because no one wants a smelly room!
All who attend will have the opportunity to employ these techniques as you follow along. There will be pre-primed boxcar shells, that will be distributed for your use to practice what you have been taught. Clinic attendees, if you have a favorite weathering media, bring it to share your knowledge of your technique. If you want to bring some rolling stock or structures to weather, please do.

Ken will furnish all the materials, tools, jigs, and machines to make over 200 trees in 3 different styles, Bottle Brush, Furnace Filters, and Poly Fiber. I will furnish each attendee with enough material to build over 30 trees in the workshop. Also, I will have 3 of my plastic flocking bottles along with all the flocking that is needed to furnish the trees.
The Hands-On Clinics have cost involved to buy all the supplies for the Hands-On Clinics. The manufacturers have cut back drastically on donating supplies.
If anyone is interested in presenting a clinic, please get in touch with me, we are in search of more Clinicians.
