Commission part 2!
This my second commissions for a friend. Done for free for two main reasons. Firstly, I initially didn’t ask for a price and secondly…I’m not too happy with the outcome though he is completely fine with it.
It was a bit of an uphill struggle I don’t mind telling you, especially repainting it from scratch.
Any way here’s the outcome.Also please bare in mind that this was an old and cruder model than what I we expect of todays models.
Same techniques as mentioned before.
He wanted a hard worked locomtive with a bit of heat scaring on the smoke box door, the buffer beans were under painted humbrol 62 & 33 before weathering. Final touch up included light lime scaling & water spillage.
Also, something I plan to have as a signiture if the red top on the chassis to imitate the inner frames. As this rather unflattering photo shows.
All in all, I was not completely impressed with the end result though I was happy to call it a day as the client was happy with what I've done.
I would ask for any CONSTRUCTIVE critisim though in regards to the work in hand to help me improve for the future.
Thanks guys
