A lower 3/4 view of the car in natural afternoon light. The car colour is faded, the roof is rusty, but not rusted out and there is rust as per a prototype photo I have of a sister car on the one end. There is more dirt, oil, wear and tear on the car. Both major pad printed areas are aggressively rubbed down. Note the end of the car with the vertical stippling of rail grime from the wheel faces.

Rusty roof detail: This close-up shows the benefits of working up (from darker to lighter) rust colours. It provides a 3d effect to the rust that could otherwise be very flat.
