Random Filth

[92912]

I have an unfinished shunting plank which has an exchange siding for some sort of industry (it's deliberately vague as is it's location and time) these are some of my industrial fleet

Nice.

You can't beat a bit of filth!

This all has a lovely natural feel to it - the colours and weathering seem spot on to me.

I love the concept of 'random filth'  It may have something to do with being an English Springer Spaniel's hooman?

Nice corrugated sheds too, realistically uneven without looking like shonky modelling

I think that this is superbly observed and crafted: especially as these are close-up images which usually expose any inadequacies: but not here. To my eye, it is totally convincing.

There is nothing like a bit of filth and grime, which you have captured nicely.

In fact, what's the recipe for that lovely oily gunk on the wheels and motion? 

because I've just looked at my own stuff and thought something that my teachers often said, which is "must try harder"....

Hi Barclay, the oily gunk is AK interactive Shaft& bearings Grease and/or engine oil. They make quite a few useful washes etc.

Hi thanks for all your kind comments, might even encourage me to get it finished . Meanwhile there is short video of it running, as I use 3 link couplings the hand of God had to be kept out sight so coupling/uncoupling was done behind the camera  https://jpsgallery.zenfolio.com/p18173113/hF1FCD9C0#hf1fcd9c0

Enjoyed the video JP, thanks for sharing.

I've not had much time for modelling recently but I have been tinkering with this 3D printed RSH 14" kit from Hardys Hobbies, still some tidying up and of course a little weathering to do.

Nicely finished.  What did you use for ther wasp stripes?

 

Could you post some images of the whole layout?  It looks interesting and convincing.

Looks really nice JP.

Hi 5050, the wasp stripes are Fox transfers on yellow paint, the transfers had to be cut into smaller pieces  to get them to lie something like flat, think there are 8 sections on the back of the cab and rear bufferbeam.

 Here are a couple more pictures (apologies for the non industrial ones) the first is an aerial view showing the plan, the layout started as as goods yard but I found room to squeeze an exchange siding in (At the top of the picture) There are cassettes where the track leads off to the upper left & the scenic area is 20"x48".  More pictures at at https://jpsgallery.zenfolio.com/p501481377
