winterbournecm Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Thanks everyone - it's such a privilige to be featured, I hope the article appeals after sucha long wait. I have a collection of Chris's photos which I'm not allowed to share on line, but he has done wonders! I've given RM Web a big clap, and YMR website which aided me in building the layout.

winterbournecm Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 The recent birthday buys have been visiting the weathering shops. Here are a selection of pictures from the application of mat varnish through to the initial body side decoration. The chassis have been removed and carefully hand painted with mat varnish and treated afterwards as the varnish has a nasty habit of drawing up into the body if re assembled to soon. leave 5 days. The blue locos were then given a gentle application of white powder to tone down the vivid Bachmann blue to soften it (a faded quality). The brown / black (powder paint) was then liberally worked into the exhausts, fans and grilles. Lighter amounts were then blended into the rest of the body to give an overall look. Yellow ends are treated sparsely dont go to heavy. Always build up coats / layers. The "Two-tone" blue which was famous in the 70/80s is brake block running dirt which gathered up the lower body sides, and is achieved with horizontal sweeping motions with a lighter brown. Making a start on the peak 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
