Mark (46444) asked if I could weather his Hornby Staniers for him

The coaches made up a 3 coach set in BR maroon.

The Hornby finish is slightly matt. I used T-cut to impart more of a a gloss finish to the sides. I renumbered one of the Brakes as M5599M as both brakes in the set had the same number. I then masked off the sides, and sprayed the roofs with a very thin mix of Tamiya IJN grey with a little dark earth in it. I lightly sprayed the underframes and bogies with a mix made up from Gunmetal, matt black, dark grey and dark earth. I then sprayed the bogies with a further mix with more dark earth in it.

I brushed the roofs with Carrs powders, and brush painted parts of the underframes with various well thinned mixes of dark grey and dark earth, most of which was rubbed off straight away with a cotton bud. I ran a darker mix into the joints round the doors, again rubbing off any overspill.

I painted the wheels separately with Tamiya matt black, let down with a little dark earth; I would have used NATO black, but I'd run out.

Here are some pictures of the results:
