Some weathered wagons.

I've been doing some light weathering of some of my stock, photos below of some I'm pretty happy with. Generally they've just had dirty light washes with Phoenix Precision Track Dirt (P991), Dirty Black (P981), and Weathered Wood (P990) with a dry brush of Track Colour [Rusty Rails] (P977).

For this one I applied from the top and then wiped downwards with a cotton bud.

Nice work Marcus.

 

Subtle and not over powering.

 

One suggestion if you don't mind? It may be worth dry brushing some gun metal on the tank wagon spillage from the filler to add a sheen. Some folk use Humbrol Metalcoat were its buffed up once dry.

 

This effect can also be used on areas such springs/oil axle filled axle boxes too. Also it be used on weathered plain wood.

 

Be nice to see them in a consist with a 2MT or a J15 in charge.

 

Cheers,

 

Mark

don't forget to colour the wheels as they are a bit shiny - just use the same technique if you are happy with it.

Thanks both.

 

Yup the wheels are a bit shiny - need to do all of those I think (usual of not noticing until you take the photos).

 

I've seen a lot of the weathered (model) tanks with a sheen from the filler but I've struggled to find photos of the same in the real world so was a little cautious - using it for the axle boxes and springs sounds like a good idea though.
