Tanks for the Memories (3) - Or a Spot of Bad Weathering hit Foster Street

Well my on-going battle with the string of 14T tank wagons continues and has got as far as them all receiving an initial coat of grime.

 

As usual with me I think they look far too clean, the Domestics Overlord has commented in the past that if I could get them as dirty as I manage to get my shirt cuffs I still would not be happy.

 

Call me suspicious but I'm beginning to think its not a comment on my weathering prowess but maybe targeted more roundly at me. I personally believe when it comes to maters of couture its better to be a leader than I follower, and it takes a lot of effort to look as scruffy as I do. I mean its not as if I just through any old things on, I positively spend micro seconds deciding :)

 

Anyway I way digress back to the tanks, they are sitting in the storage yard drying, while I think of adding more dirt to them, which means in theory I have a little time to spend on other projects clogging up the work bench.

So there you have it, a relatively short update (I can here the cheers from here)I must go now as I have trip planned to the local refuse tip, and I want to wear the perfect ensemble, and avoid getting thrown into a skip.

 

Until next time as ever, Happy Cat walking, er I mean Modelling :)

Nice job.

I found the big problem with batch weathering is that they al end up looking the same. Better to do a basic job and then do them individually to ensure that they are not the same. I always leave a couple pretty clean and then progress down to absolutely filthy. Variety is much more realistic.
