As usual at a show I didn't get loads of wagons weathered. Some I had started prior to the show...

 

First up a Parkside ex SNCF 16T mineral wagon.All over dirt with a bit of added rust

I have been working on some ex PO wagons. One is an Oxford mineral. A bit of work with a glass fibre brush then some weathering. The other is Slaters PO. By using the glass fibre brush on some of the planks means the original brown paint shows through. Some numbers from Modelmasters and then just a wash of black ink followed by weathering powder black when the ink is dry.

Two iron ore hoppers.. note the Hemeatite Ore is not yellow - it is a purple brown.

A couple of Cement Presflos - using white ink washes then "concrete" weathering powder added when the ink is slightly wet

an ex LMS 6 wheel fish van. These were never clean and needs a lot more work on it to complete

Nice work Baz. I have some difficulty with white ink as it seems to be harder to keep in suspension than darker colours. Any tips?

I use windsor and newton white ink. It evaporates a lot and turns into a thick goo which responds well to some additional water and a tiny drop of washing up liquid.

Thanks. That's pretty well what I've found. As you know I tend to use isopropanol rather than water to thin my inks but it's good to know that it probably isn't something I'm doing wrong.
