Whenever I photograph a work in progress, I end up having to bulldoze enough space to do it. 

Time I think for a new approach on my bodging bench. 

Thanks for shaming me into it!

Hopefully, I shall be able to post a bit more progress on the Peckett  later.....

I think I have found the problem, the bodging bench is subject to a wagon infestation. There appears to be a crane and match truck, two vans and an open belonging to the GWR, a box van belonging to the Hull & Barnsley another belonging to the Cambrian, two opens belonging to the LNWR and another belonging to a PO in Oswestry. 

All need finishing in some way or another. I think I had better get on with it now I can find everything.

Thanks Duddders.

You're quite right. Work is driven by the current restrictions. It does get slightly worse in that I should have been off next week and have been asked to work at least part of it.......

 

Morning Jonners. 

 

The Peckett now has a replacement handrail. A few blobs of primer before running some black over it and that should allow me to move on.

An original airsmoothed Bulleid Peckett. Nice.

The Lady is Jenny Aguter, be careful not to let the Duck catch you eyeballing her otherwise :butcher:

Since Evil Bus Driver has quoted something from 5 years ago:

What part is a lady's "otherwise"? Just so I know where not to look....

All the powders I use are from the Humbrol range. 

Next daubed a bit of Sand here and there. I wanted to suggest faded paint work..

What is the nature of the 'sand' that you splodged on, by the way, is it a paint, is it a powder, is it a bird?

 

 

I think your question has already been answered, my Captain.

A very informative mini master class of your excellent and now legendary weathering techniques my friend, thank you.

 

If and when you decide to up the scale I don't think you will have any problems transferring these skills.

Morning all. 

 

Last night's photos were taken at the dining table where the light is perhaps not the best. 

 

Here's a photo taken at Sheep Dip under layout light. Still a bit to do but perhaps a more accurate rendition of the colouring is seen here. 

 

The rust will be toned down. 

 

A work in progress then. .

Very interesting SheepBloke. You obviously get on very well with the Humbrol weathering powders as the results attest to. Mick on the other hand didn't get on with them and uses MIG instead and also gets excellent results.

Evening all.

 

Thanks for the interest, chaps. 

 

Further work carried out involving light and repeated applications  of 'sand' and 'white'. As above daubed on, then worked in. 

 

Light spray of varnish to seal. 

 

Still a work in progress.
