Grovenor Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Those wagons are really looking good, and I like the job you have done on the trackside furniture, signal relay boxes, concrete cable troughs, orange pipes etc. I would suggest you now apply some of your skill with the rust paint to the sides of your rail, that will lift the whole layout up a notch.

class"66" Posted August 25, 2014 Author Share Posted August 25, 2014 This week i bought twin set of weathered and rusted BR blue/grey mk1 coaches (Bachmann)New.... After few hours of looking over these i set to work making few of my own,was bit of test realy Using Humrol met 11 silver paint,and yellow rust effects. Car body masking tape, i set to work on the roof of my mk1 half brake coach... Once the silver paint had dryed, i painted thin layer of 50/50 (rust effects) and (yellow rust effects) over the silver flakey roof paint. Once the rust effects have dryed,ile light air brush in some dirt brown. Using Humbrol matt 26 paint.... Then more rust wil be added here n there along the roof vents.. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted September 19, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Neil I have been removing the roof "bars" from the odd Bachmann Mark 1. To see if they were Ok I overpainted the darkish grey roof with BR Light grey. This showed up the bits I had missed. I then started to sand down these bits to discover that a weathering pattern was emerging.... I think this , with a bit more of your weathering could produce something similar to the Bachmann "weathered" roof.
