For the first time in ages a new West Country rolls off the TBG workbench (literally of course) 34004 Yeovil in Rebuilt guise. The donor and plates had been sitting around for ages so the time had come to do a renaming from scratch. Like a well oiled machine it rolled off the production line in no time at all. :)

While Yeovil was in the paintshop, I busied myself with a Battle of Britain (Tangmere) donor and created a new version of 34065 Hurricane. This will get the heavy weathered treatment before too long. She's seen here next to Yeovil on my new twin track display board - which itself still has some work to do. :)

Looking guide :rolleyes:

 

Any chance we can have a guide on doing the weathering on Hurricane.

 

I'm always interested in weathering especially when it's a similar loco to mine.

Hurricane's going to be my first one weathered with an airbrush, so this could prove interesting....

Been a lot easier than expected using an airbrush, Railmatch's Acrylics are a joy to work with and don't need too much thinning. Cleaning the airbrush was a different matter lol!!

I always use enamels as there is no need to seal them - enamel goes off after 7 - 10 days.

What do you seal the acrylic paint with?

Cleaning the airbrush after each use is essential, even more so after using varnish. In five years I'm only on my second airbrush, if you keep them clean they last for ages.
