w124bob Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Now there are a couple gents on here who I've just stumbled across whilst researching Bachmann 9F's, Tim and Gordon S who both use an oil and powder method for the oily bits. So my question is, what type of oil and powder refered to as "steam" has been used?. Gordon S mentions it in his 9F section which was quite sometime ago so I'm only 8 years late!

Brocp Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I use AK Interactive "Fuel Stains" for that greasy oily look now, but there are several other ways to do it. Have a look at my thread "weathered LMS locomotives" to see the results. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Mick Bonwick Posted October 11, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 11, 2018 Now there are a couple gents on here who I've just stumbled across whilst researching Bachmann 9F's, Tim and Gordon S who both use an oil and powder method for the oily bits. So my question is, what type of oil and powder refered to as "steam" has been used?. Gordon S mentions it in his 9F section which was quite sometime ago so I'm only 8 years late! Rather than me having to search the whole of RMweb for the topic, can you provide a clue to the whereabouts of it? If Gordon S or Tim can't answer your question, then somebody else might be able to if they can find the original post(s). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
w124bob Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Here is the link to the first oil reference www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php/topic/18339-eastwood-town-9f-gets-weatheredstage-3/ as Gordon s posted yesterday he's still here. He simply refers to dry brushing using lubricating oil, so I assume he's refering to oil intended for loco mechs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike2steam Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Gunmetal with a hint of tan, or metal 'blackening' ( Birchwood 'Super-Blue') finished off with gloss varnish applied with an air-brush. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted October 11, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 11, 2018 a bit of humbrol "leather" mixed with humbrol "gunmetal" applied then a wash of an ink/water/washing up liquid mix and a bit of a brown/black weathering powder dragged across the nearly dry ink mix?
