Working over a tractor in a week, or maybe a bit more pt4, plus seacows

So, had a good session with the airbrush today, got a decent layer of brown on the underframe, and dustings on the bodyshell in the right places. It finally feels as though it is coming together now! Still need washes and powders on the underframe, but its moving in the right direction.

Also gave some Seacows a dusting over with frame dirt at the same time, these had already had a series of brown and grey washes already. I've also glued on the detailing bits. Looks like they may, just, still make it round 9 inch curves. Further detail painting will follow, along with some stone dust and a load. Mmm, rusty cows biggrin.gif

Should like nice with the OBAs and Autoballasters in a long engineers working behind a tug or a maroon tractor or two smile.gif

Yes, indeed - looking very much the part. A bit more underframe work will get that looking superb B)

Thanks guys. I feel another visit to Mr Daniels' fotopic site coming on for weathering details. The 'cows mind are a long term project, you know a bit here, and a bit there, like today because I already had the airbrush loaded with brown. Also got to do some fiddling with the ploughs on the tractor, and sort the bufferbeam pipes out. There are a nice looking set of air pipes in the Fastline IIAs I had delivered last week...laugh.gif

Thanks Graham. I seem to be really yo-yo-ing with this one.

I'll look it over and be really happy with it, then look again later and the weathering looks really course and over done. Though later I'll look at fotopic and the grotty shots compare well to the model. I just don't really seem to be able to get "in the zone" with this one - perhaps it because it's not a 60! Maybe it's the pressure of wanting to do a decent job because I know I'm probably going to sell it on once it's finished. Meh, whatever, I ain't no psychologist!laugh.gif

Very nice work Jo - together with the seacows, this really looks the part. With the end detailing and omission of coupling, the scale is not apparent :icon_thumbsup2:

Looks very good . It says something that I had to scroll down right to the bottom to check it really was N - I wasn't sure if it was a Bachmann one
