That's where I've gone wrong then Al, I have the tiny fingers, but mine seem to have a built in VIBRATOR when doing small or delicate jobs. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted November 1, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 1, 2019 Today, I been mostly painting. Though not of the decorating variety... When this is all dry properly, I will dry-brush over it with Matt White, for all that lime-dust goodness... Thanks for looking, Al. 14 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted November 2, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 2, 2019 Thanks very much, all of you. You know what they say... If you can't beat 'em, join 'em... I expect some industrial sheepness, and peckettness and muddleness. I think Adrian's already done that with Ewer Street. Here's a couple of shots in the daylight, now it's dried.

RMweb Gold Rowsley17D Posted November 2, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 2, 2019 A well-observed bit of modelling there, Al, even if it is from photos. Brings back memories of when I used to go out with my dad in his lorry to various Derbyshire quarries in the late 50s, early 60s. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted November 2, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) Thanks very much Jonathan. Oh, and before anybody else says it, it's not got any rivets. I know. I thought I'd got some sheets of Archers, but I'm buggered if I can find them, so Plan B will be enacted... when I've thought of it... Al.

Allegheny1600 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Hi Al, Blimey mate, that's amazing! When I first saw your window frames, I thought 'OMG, he's only bevelled the corners', what a relief, when I saw you had (sensibly), used butt joints, phew! Absolutely terrific work and nicely weathered too. But, it does still have that "wet" look, I wonder if that could get some "dry" powders added? Not a criticism, just an observation old bean. Cheers, John. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted November 2, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 2, 2019 Hi John, Thanks very much. No, I think bevelled corners is a step too far... I agree, it needs to look more dusty. I don't know if you can get white weathering powders - I would expect so - so I might have to get some. Alternatively, I could just chuck some Johnson's Baby Powder at it... It would smell nice, too... Cheers mate, Al. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted November 2, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) It’s superb Al, not that I thought it would turn out otherwise I do admire your attention to detailage Oh and I’ve visited many quarry’s with my job and none of the smell of baby power Edited November 2, 2019 by chuffinghell 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I did. I used various light greys but mainlt Tamiya Deck Tan. Weathering powders, too, help with making the buildings dusty. https://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/121045-white-peak-limestone-tarmacadam/&do=findComment&comment=2771555 Edited November 2, 2019 by Ruston 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
