Moderators Howard Smith Posted April 17, 2020 Moderators Share Posted April 17, 2020 Every round we're going to present you with a photograph of a scene. It might be real life, it might be a model. The challenge is to replicate it as closely as you can. Fear not, we'll drop a few hints along the way so you're not 'going in blind'. At the end of each round, we'll be awarding model railway prizes to he or she who produced what we feel is the closest effort. This week, feast your eyes on this photograph: Taken as late as 1993 in Shrewsbury sidings (now a housing estate) it depicts a pretty weathered 21T mineral wagon, MDV E310582. This time, we're allowing the use of an RTR wagon and we're not looking for a diorama, simply the wagon. Do you have a 21T mineral wagon kit or RTR model in need of a less factory pristine finish? Observe the rusting and number closely - do you have a stand-out weathering technique for this? Our lucky winner will get a Dapol's new model of North British Type 2, D6129: ENTER HERE 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Chris Chewter Posted May 12, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 12, 2020 Well done Stu on winning! Trying to match some of the weathering on that wagon was really challenging. Good work! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
