Interesting, never knew about these.

What's a "startship" though? (Top tube...)

 

A starship is an interstellar spacecraft . Starship filth are the Romulans...

I would have thought that was the Klingons, or even the Ferengi, despite the hints and allegations of ST Picard ...

Good to see another post on here, Rob!

 

I have been meaning to ask for some time, and you've now reminded me to do it. How did you achieve the mineral wagon's rusty patches that have started to spread downwards? I've had a go at some but they don't look as good as yours, and I'm jealous!

Added in are dabs of rust and dark earth, topped off with shading added with white and black. 

 

 

Splendid! Thank you for the explanation.

 

I favour (amongst others) dark earth and dark umber for rusty weathering tones, but your use of white and black as "additives" is interesting. I must delve into some boxes . . . . . . . . .

Apologies for dropping some foreign muck in the thread Rob, this is weathered using MiG pigments.

The easiest way to describe them is paint without the liquid, and I’ve never experienced or heard of any colours in any ‘lumps’ of pigment. AK is another brand worth investigating too, the mediums work in a similar manner. Use sparingly, a little goes a long way!.

Sorry for distracting your thread Rob..

I've been posting a few views elsewhere and have decided to add them on here. 

 

Hornby Pecketts and Bachmann minerals.

Thank you Mick. 

 

Very kind of ewe to say so. 

 

I hope to start doing a bit more now and again as the nights are drawing in again. 

 

So maybe some new subjects....

Evening all.

 

For completeness,  here are a few images of the latest victim of the weathering sheep. 

 

Ex-GWR 57xx pannier, 7754.

Thanks Steve. 

 

Yes, they are quite large.  A bit too large to be honest for parts of Sheep Dip which was built with Pecketts in mind. 

In fact anything larger than an 0.4.0 Peckett is a bit of a squeeze.

I don't think it looks out of place on there though.

 Agreed......very much at home.  Sheep Dip is quite the generic setting for scruffy industrials.

Morning all. 

 

I have been dabbling a little with 7mm. Very much a long term project as I have still much that I want to do in 4mm . 

 

The first victim in big scale is a Minerva ex-GWR open. 

Here is a cruel close up. I must sort out the three links. Very scruffy.

Thanks Chris. 

 

My posts on this thread are extremely occasional. Too many threads.........the next 7mm wagon will be the Minerva modified Iron Mink but that might well be a long way off. 

 

Lots of 4mm ideas to sort out first...........

 

But. A few more images of the 7mm open..
