SDJR7F88 Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 I am trying very hard! Had some trouble with this one at first! Still a few little details to add! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted December 10, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 10, 2013 Thats why I use a ink/water wash first - it helps it all to "stick". You could try adding a "paint.thinners wash" over the buffer beam if you are OK with a permanent finish - then add teh powders on top? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDJR7F88 Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Thanks for the info! But sadly she is not mine, as I am weather her for a friend. I will give her another coat of powders over the buffers tomorrow. Will use your tips on the next one though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDJR7F88 Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 The Super D is now complete! Just added the finishing touches today, which include water leaks to the running plate and grime to the buffers! Sorry about the quality of the images again, as it does not show up the weathering as good as in the flesh. Takes me ages to get good close-up with this camera! Should get the big one out next time! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDJR7F88 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 The first batch of Bachmann BR Bauxite 16 tonner mineral wagons, with varying levels of weathering (light, medium, heavy). I have four more of these to finish, plus four BR Grey one, four Hornby SC 20 ton Hoppers and a Dapol GW 20 Ton Steel Mineral wagon. All weathering like usual is done with powders and paints. Please tell me what you think. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted December 12, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 12, 2013 check out some photos as the underframes on this sort of wagon do get a battering - and if they are for coal a touch more black may be required. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDJR7F88 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Thanks Matt! Yep, still a long way to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDJR7F88 Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 Thanks again Barry. I always flow photographs when I get down to weathering. Yes, the under frames are a bit on the light side, because the powder have trouble sticking (plus the camera does not do them justice). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDJR7F88 Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 With a bit of free time on Boxing Day I decided to down and dirty with the wagons again, to get my friend fleet finished (I hope to finish in the next day or too)!
