Phil's Practicals

[Phil Parker]

 

I'm starting a new column in our weekly newsletter and on World of Railways with some simple, practical ideas to get you modelling. 

 

After each newsletter goes out, I'll post a link to the topic on RMweb too so we can chat and you can tell me how I could do things better

 

I'll be looking for ideas for future columns too - so let me know what you'd like to see.

The first topic I've covered, is the exciting world of point levers.

With time on our hands, it's worth learning a few new techniques. One of the most useful ones for an y modeller is dry brush painting. Reading about it is one thing, but it's something I've always found easier to demonstrate - so I've put together a quick video taking you through the basics.

Next week, we'll apply this to weathering a wagon.

Now you've practised your dry-brushing, here's how I apply it to a real wagon.

Phil with me being new to railway modelling, I have enjoyed watching your tutorial on wagon weathering.
