Slow progress

Well, what with work and holiday recently, time for the railway has been in short supply. However, I've had a go at weathering a Farish Class 66 and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. Perhaps the roof needs a bit more around the exahust though?

Hopefully I'll have a bit more time to push on with the layout itself soon so more updates on the way.

 

Cheers,

 

Tom.

Hi,

 

That's very good, at first glance you'd be forgiven for thinking it was 4mm.

 

any chance of you sharing how you've done the weathering ?

Hi Stu

 

The undeframe was sparyed with Railmatch Frame Dirt and once dry was then dry brushed with varying different shades of muddy browns before an overall wash of thin black. The body was done with just washes of black & dark brown in the areas where dirt gathers on the real thing.

 

Cheers!

Hi Tom,

 

Only just picked up on this blog and I'm really impressed. Might have something to do with my recent conversion to N gauge. wink.gif (See my blog-St.Keyne Wishing Well Halt)

 

As others have said it could be mistaken for a larger scale but I think thats the beauty of N gauge in that it allows you to portry the railway in the landscape quite easily owing to the space available. The level of detail on your layout and other N gauge layouts I've recently seen is superb.

 

Keep the excellent posts coming and I'll be keeping track of this one.

 

Cheers.
