Weathering Services

[CCGWR]

Hi All,

 

I thought I would start a thread detailing the happenings of my weathering. I have recently started a business known as 'CC Weathering Services,' the website can be checked out by clicking on the tab in my signature bar.

The latest project was a HO NSWGR C36 class. A bit challenging to find a reference photograph as they all had a Belpaire firebox and were painted black by the time colour photos of them were around.

 

Before: Front View

 

Before: Side view

 

After: Front View

 

After: Side View

 

After: Top view, note I made sure the coal was diminished slightly.

 

I also did my first Respray recently- a GWR 4575 class as we had two of the same model and as we don't have too many GWR Wartime black locos I thought I would paint it into that colour. As can be expected from a first attempt there are a few rough edges but from a normal layout viewing distance they aren't too noticeable.

Before: 5513, the extra was repainted to:

 

After: 5533, I'm not sure if this loco ever appeared in black but on my layout it will. Obviously a few rough edges but it will do for me.

 

Hope you enjoy and there should be more stuff put up in the future.

 

Regards Connor

Very nice weathering on the C36 Class. The GWR 4575 came up nice with the repaint.

 

Cheers, Gary.

You are Connor from South Australia and I claim my $5...

 

Seriously, with regard to the C36 does the preserved 3642 not help with the colours?

Yes, it certainly is John.

 

I did have a look at 3642 and it did help a little, especially the tender with the bunker and so on but they still keep 3642 cleaner than my 3635.

G'day Everyone,

These photos will eventually be included into the website as the background allows a better contrast but I have more locos to do at the moment.

Keep your eyes posted on this page for more soon!

I took some inspiration from this photo with the streaking, after photos in the following posts due to the photo size:
