Guest eddie reffin Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Such well observed and applied weathering on theses models. Just stunning. Cheers Eddie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milocomarty Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 Thanks ! Got a lot of questions asked lately about filters. What are they and what do they do. Well, filters are very thin paints, 10% paint and 90% dilutant and they change the overall color of the paintjob and unify the several dots and spots painted on the model. I did try to capture it in pictures. Did one side of this boxcar with 2 layers of filters, one with a blue green color and one with a light brown ochre color applied in 2 thin coats with a drying time of 24 hour inbetween. with filters. without.. with filters.. without.. as you can see the filters change the overall appearance of the car and blend all the painted chips more together and soften its look. Choose for a second filter to gave it a more overall dusty apperance.. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonas Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I can see a lot of AFV military modelling techniques at work here, and that is meant as a huge compliment - those guys are the masters. I'd be intrigued to see the effects scaled down though, especially down to N. have you ever done any of the smaller scales? Thanks for sharing that with and without explanation btw. Your work is very inspiring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milocomarty Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 Didn't go smaller as H0 scale, N would be a real challenge I think..but worth to give it a try one day.. So another project nearly finished, the German tankcar in 0 scale..still had to do the other side. Added several rust tones, streaks and so on. Bit of metal pigment on the handrails but I think I used to much..think I use a pencil next time.. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milocomarty Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 Well, think I'm done. Just a few minor things on the puffers..added dust, splatter and so on. Pigments and enamel splatter stuff from Ammo used..think it's a lovely couple but the yellow one needs a bit of dust to.. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonas Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Would you share your pigment techniques? I love how the underframes are splattered with different shades and textures. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnH Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Absolutely stunning work Martin... In a scenic setting it would be nigh on impossible to distinguish that these 'works of art' are not the real thing. Please keep on posting these examples of your craftsmanship.

milocomarty Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 Thanks guys ! Still more work on te bench.. Jonas, I use Ammo by Mig Splashes Mud for this, A.MIG 1750, 1751 and 1753 for this. Thinned a bit with odourless thinner and blown to the underframe with the air from the airbrush. But a stiffer brush and a toothpick will work to. In each layer I removed the to large particles and streaked it downwards with odourless thinner. After that and a bit of drying I brushed and stipled on some light dust and earth toned pigments. Fixate them inbetween layers with a short shot of odourless thinner with the airbrush. To speed up I blow the fixation dry with the air out of the airbrush. Fixation at the end can be done with pigment fixer, Pigments, thinner and fixer all Ammo by Mig products.. http://www.migjimenez.com/en/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonas Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Thanks, that's really helpful. I'm going to have to get hold of some of these products and experiment! Please keep your pictures coming, I find the different steps really helpful. Merry Christmas to you too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milocomarty Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 Boring Xmass days are nice to model More work done on the green Persil boxcar. Bit of rust on the chipping. Not on the walls, they are plywood but just on the metal frame..Please don't comment on the huge couplers, they are still on because the come in very handy turning the car without touching the fresh paint. Next job will be the roof, sheetmetal. Guess I chip it lightly and add more dust and grime on it. As the sliding panels are aluminium I added some light chips to the to..finaly some dust and this one will be done.. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrg1 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Could you summarise your weathering and ageing techniques? These are far in advance of the publications that I have on the subject, and I would like to practise what you are doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milocomarty Posted December 27, 2016 Author Share Posted December 27, 2016 Could give it a try ! Suffering a bad attack of the flue, feels like I'm hit by a truck. Still can't do nothing, guess it's not in my genes. More work on the Persil boxcar. Saw this video by Mig Jimenez using enamels over chipping medium on a zaku. Thought it could be used on a boxcar roof as wel. So I sprayed several layers of scratches medium on the roof followed by streaking grime for interiors because the greyish brown color suited the roof of a boxcar a bit more. After a short drying time I started chipping with plain tapwater..well I always use demineralised. Also added a bit of african dust to the lower parts streaked with odourless thinner, followed by a light mist of the same streaking grime for interiors.. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgman Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Excellent modelling as always. I think that anyone wishing to get to your standards would do well to watch the YouTube videos by Mig Jimenez which give a fascinating insight into his techniques for weathering any models. He certainly is a master at his craft. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
millerhillboy Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Just stunning, have you ever done any UK rolling stock? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milocomarty Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 Do love the work of MIguel too, as I love Wilder works and more military guys stuff. Not yet, UK rolling stock is not what I have around here. Lotta German stuff and I model USA myself.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milocomarty Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 Working on a really tiny car in H0 scale for a Belgian friend of mine. After all the scale 1 and 0 stuff I almost forgot how tiny 1:87 could be..Mostly used Ammo by Mig Jiminez enamel product.. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Mick Bonwick Posted February 3, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2017 It's not that tiny, really, Martin, and there's still plenty of scope for subtlety. When you consider how popular 3.5mm HO/P87 and 4mm OO/EM/P4 are in the railway modelling world there must be many people watching your work who would welcome the appearance of some more 'tiny' stuff!

milocomarty Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 More "tiny"stuff on the way..have more HO boxcars, locomotives and other things here..but if you did gauge 1 and 0 scale for a while it's tiny 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milocomarty Posted February 13, 2017 Author Share Posted February 13, 2017 There are a couple of projects I currently work on.
