It's Another Peckett

Just can't resist them. Can you?

 

This one started off with a layer or three of water mixable oil paint (black) that was left to dry for three weeks. Not because it needed that long, but because I was doing other things. Each of the three layers was disrupted slightly by rubbing gently to remove that area of paint between edges of panels.

The next step was to use an airbrush to apply a layer of AMMO by MIG Rust Wash, thinned with white spirit, across the upper surfaces to give a matt finish. Chimney, cab roof, dome and top of saddle tank. This was given 24 hours to dry.

The same wash was airbrushed over the wheels and chassis to tone down the bright colours and impart a dirty tinge to the surfaces.

Once the wash had hardened, an application of black pigment was added to the cab roof and a few random areas of the running plate ro represent accumulated dirt.

Final touches were the addition of some metallic gunmetal pigment to some of the handrails and some rust coloured pigment to the firebox showing through the frames behind the rear wheels.

 

There's another view of it here:

That is deliciously grubby, one of your best IMHO. Needs a driver / fireman in oily overalls to finish it off.

Just had a thought, when you say layers of paint, do you mean very small amounts of paint moved around and left to dry between the layers?

Yes, I mean exactly that. No rush, took my time, waited for it to dry, had another go, waited for that to dry, amd so on. Just built up the layers slowly.

Thanks, chaps. You're very kind. It's not too difficult to make these little folks look good though, is it? I've been using them to try out all sorts of things, some of which have worked.
