Accurascale Cemflo. Step 6 - Finishing Details.

Final touches include the wiping of the pigment brush, which still has a residue of light grey pigment on it, over horizontal and protruding surfaces. Note that this does not mean that the brush is dipped in pigment at all, we just make use of the miniscule traces that are still embedded in the bristles. A bit like dry brushing with paint.

 

The Blue Circle board on the tank has also been rubbed with the pigment brush, in vertical streaks, to replicate the dusty buildup of cement dust.

 

Only after the photographs were taken did I discover that I had broken one of the hatch latch handles. Be warned!

 

I have now realised that I have not photographed the darkening process for the area around the hatches that arises from lubrication of the hinges and latches, and the vehicle is now with its owner. The second photograph below will show you how this appears, but on a much later PCA.

Looks great Mick. How would you replicate the darkening you mentioned?

Looks great Mick. I'd like to have a go of that, I've got a couple of Hornby PCA's just need to find some photos of some later cement wagons to see how they weather.
