Been following this with interest Mick. The weathered wagon does look good and is a fantastic improvement but I can appreciate the differences, especially the roof. It seems like washes wont work quite so well and more airbrush weathering might be needed. I wonder how the "old fashioned" slosh the paint on wipe off method wont work so well with that surface.
My favourite method!

Just looked at the crane photo's. That looks very nice, just the right amount of weathering.

I've only started using it fairly recently. I usually do around 50/50 water and medium if I want a thin wash, I find it avoids "tide marks" as the paint is drying. That is what I used for overall grime wash on the crane from the previous couple of posts.
For the light gray on the wagon I put a drop of medium and mixed it with the gray on my wet palette to thin it a bit.
Thank's I'll give it a go. Does it help to break surface tension at all. I havent yet found a way of recreating the properties of an enamel was using acrylics.

The wagon is looking great and like the prototype pic. I'm interested in the use of the glaze medium, I've got some of that but never used it. Have you used it for weathering before?

That is amazing! The modelling is some of the best I've seen, very clever use of military figures, salt and blue tack! Stunning

Looks good to me too.
Only suggestion I could think of, could the lower panels be a bit dirtier as the might not have been 'cleaned' by the weather and might have picked up more dirt from the track? I've not looked at any photo's of them to see if that's the case though.

Just caught up with the blog. The 14xx looks stunning! a good weathering job really transforms O gauge loco's, makes them look soooo real!

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?
-
That looks stunning Mick!

The Zoom session was great Mick. Good to see your work in action, you do make it look so easy. I liked the way you mixed the paint in the cup, I've read a lot of stuff that doesn't recommend that, but when you only need a small amount of paint that seems to make sense. I've always been put off by mixing a load of paint for a small weathering job.
Congratulations on the whole weekend, it was very informative.

Where did you get them Dave? I noticed the Hornby site had them for £1.99 a pair but they're not in stock, I've got a few 'pizza cutter' wheels including a 121 and it might be worth a look.
-
Glad you've sorted the 121 out, were the wheels a straight swap?

Very nice work there Dave, the doors and roof look great and the weathered appearance is spot on. I like the torn roof covering and the effect of peeled and worn paintwork on the body. It's all very inspirational great stuff!

Great tutorial Mick, hope you're keeping safe and well.

Fantastic Mick! I've got a couple of Gordon Edgar books on my Xmas list, hope Santa's good to me.
Look forward to whatever's next

Ok, thanks Mick

Mick, when you do upper surfaces like that do you point the airbrush directly over the top of the loco as soot would generally fall or do you work to any pattern?
-
Ta Mick, they do look good. Like the roofs, just how I remember diesel locos.

You're teasing us now Mick!
Any different techniques we should know about?
