I recently read an article in the Hornby magazine, June 3013 edition, on salt weathering and thought it would be a good idea to have go. I asked the missus about non-perfumed hairsprays and she said she had one that she didn't like, saying I could use it. Well, what could I say?
I followed the advice in the article on a wagon that will never see the light of day. I only did one side to see how it would turn out. This is the result:
The hardest part was getting the salt to sit where I wanted it to once it had been put on the hairspray-soaked side. With practice I will be able to manipulate it and be happy with it. Overall, I am happy with the result and all I would need to do is to tone down and dirty the bodyside once the transfers have been added and to weather the underframe, if I was to make it into an operable model. It certainly has yielded promising results!
