RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted November 16, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 16, 2019 Given the recent interest in weathering locomotives, I came across this handy step by step guide and thought it might be useful to put a link here in this dicussion. https://www.world-of-railways.co.uk/techniques/weathering/how-to-weather-a-locomotive-using-paint-washes-and-powders 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted November 16, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 16, 2019 River bed laid but it looked too bright. I covered it with dilute black acrylic and another sprinkling of talus. Hopefully that’ll do the job. Leaf litter is an opened green tea bag. I don’t do green tea! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted November 16, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 16, 2019 E-Z water melted and laid, although it wasn’t quite so e-z. I ended up with a ridge on the first pour, so had to melt a bit more and thankfully that sorted it out. First the disaster. Make sure the diorama is flat otherwise you end up with this: Now on a flat surface, another layer before the first had cooled allowed the imperfections to melt and a nice finish achieved. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted November 16, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 16, 2019 After a bit of sanding, I’ve fitted the back scene. I’ve also put some reeds in along the bank edges. I also found two telegraph poles to fit either side of the bridge and fitted some detritus on the far bank. There was an imperfection in the e-z water under the bridge, so a dumped sleeper will have to hide that. Again, Goblin will have to give a bit of scale to the layout. The Andrew Barclay is sat on the shelf in the living room so wasn’t to hand. 7 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo-Bo Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Nice model work, I do like those long rushes along the waters edge. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted November 24, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 24, 2019 Autumnal tree made up by using Noch autumn leaves affixed with spray mount. Taking photos is very useful as the rushes on the left hand side look too regular. A few more are required I think. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted December 14, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 14, 2019 Sorted out the reeds. That looks better. 6 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted January 1, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 1, 2020 Whilst sorting out the photos for my entry into this round of the cake box competition, I remembered that I have a DJ models austerity Mountain Ash No.8. I can’t use it for my entry, but I thought I’d post it here for your enjoyment. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Sweet pea Posted January 1, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 1, 2020 Hi you have produced a lovely cakebox railway layout, nice modelling through the build. Well done! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben B Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 The shot with the Austerity is really evocative of the real place, I was re-reading Gordon Edgar's book on the class and there's some nice shots of the real bridge. Lovely bit of modelling, and the water is very realistic indeed. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the loose buffer hanging off the wagon. Both photos are of-what was- Big Pit. It's all gone now. The locomotive shed has disappeared underneath an industrial estate.
