He, She or It? All the same to me - living, breathing beasties...
Now weathering does matter to me. It brings models to life, allows the muse to serve your endeavours to create a scene. I hope the below illustrate that :
A humble BR steel Medfit, full of skanky, waste ballast.
An auld LMS Highfit, seeing out its days humping waste ballast.
A venerable, battered Grampus awaits its next duty.
An auld, fitted LMS Medfit, now with the Engineers Dept.
Another bashed up, former LMS Highfit; this time, in the service of the S&T Dept.
All this stock is runs on Mostyn. So what, it's P4, does that make it better? No; however, each item is an individual, part of the overall creation.
Talking of which, back to the workdesk. More scuzzy, decrepit, filthy stock needs finishing...
