When I was considering options for hiding the optical detectors, crates and various other objects were taken into account. As such I ordered a Preiser wooden crate kit, item no 18350, that contains 4 different wooden crates. I didn't went so far as to analyze how they would conceal the detectors, mostly because a better method was found (hiding them underneath the ballast or in small holes behind rocks or walls and leaving an opening that is virtually invisible) but they do provide a good opportunity to test weathering procedures. A 2 coat spraying was done using the same colour used for the railroad ties so far. And then it was time for drybrushing; both pictures are taken using a 50W halogen bulb as the main light source (and other secondary classic lights, hence the funny shades). The first one shows the progress aft
er the first pass, unfortunately the second, containing the crate after the spraying had the light bulb just too close, hence the difference in colour. Next there will be a pass with various washes, as to break the colour monotony.
