It occurred to me that I could do something about making initial airbrushing tasks a bit easier with these models. Most of the photographs that I have been working from show much corrosion on the strengthening ribs all around the hopper body, and for the first couple of examples I airbrushed these freehand and didn't worry too much about the slight overspray that got onto the panels. For the third example I cut out a piece of 2mm greyboard to use as a mask that would allow me to airbrush just the ribs without getting overspray on the panels.

It worked well enough on the third one, so I'll use it on the remaining two as well. They won't be done just yet, though, because the Christmas lights have to go up and that takes a couple of days . . . . . . . .

They look brilliant. I am learning a lot from your weathering posts. I will have to get the airbrush out again and do some more.

Sounds like you're going to dim the National Grid if your Christmas lights take a couple of days to go up!
