MrWolf Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) 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!

MrWolf Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 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. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post NHY 581 Posted October 25, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2020 (edited) All the powders I use are from the Humbrol range. Firstly, I apply some Iron Oxide. This is done just to get a 'feel' for where I might want it. There may be more but its applied early so I can tone it down later. Next , I add a bit of shading using black. Then Smoke is applied over the top of the saddle tank. These are really 'base layers' and much blending will follow. I then add a bit of dark earth on the lower edges. Again this will be blended in later. Next, I daubed a bit of Sand here and there. I wanted to suggest faded paint work..

RMweb Gold Popular Post NHY 581 Posted October 26, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) 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. . Rob.

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted October 26, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 26, 2020 Oh, and it's looking fab, by the way. 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? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgman Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 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. G 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted October 26, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 26, 2020 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. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted October 26, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) 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.
