Jesse Sim Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 Weathering the bridge this afternoon, used a mix of weathering paints to create overall muck, sprayed on with the airbrush. I think it’s turned out rather well. But more touches will be added to give a real dirty run down look. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted September 29, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 29, 2019 Try some dark weathering powder while your paint is stillslightly wet. It will give a texture to the soot. Baz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Sim Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) Here she is all finished, just need to add a little more to the end where the coal train stands. But apart from that I’m quite happy with it. First time scratch building a bridge and then first time weathering a bridge with an air brush and powders combined. The white strands look really white, but it’s the camera, they are quite dark. Edited September 29, 2019 by Jesse Sim 6 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Tony. Many thanks Tony, indeed i do, I started on the empty wagons, by painting out planks as if they have been replaced over the years. Still determining on how to weather them, by air brush or powders.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still determining on how to weather them, by air brush or powders.... Jesse, Weathering method depends on the standard you are trying to achieve. You could spend ages on each wagon achieving perfection. But on a layout your size, I think you would go mad pretty quickly. Personally, I spend 5-10 minutes per wagon, which is quite enough when you have 100+ to do. I don’t think airbrushing is necessary. I use a mix of Humbrol 27004 (metalcote), 33 (Matt black), a grey and a brown (64 and 62 but it doesn’t really matter). Use more matt black than the others and vary the proportions for variety. Then brush it on well thinned down and wash off with thinners as required to leave it in the less accessible areas. Leave it to dry for a couple of hours, and then use powders to add some relief - e.g. rust on metal bits to highlight rivets and soot on coal wagons. The powders should stick to the semi dry paint and not need varnishing. I hope this is useful. Andy 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
micklner Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Even easier spray with matt varnish Testors Dullcote is the best i have used, and then weather with powders. No need to seal them, the powder will "catch" on the varnish. You can then always wash the powder off with water if you ever want to sell them. Many people prefer unweathered models. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
