Now then,

 

Firstly the Parkside 12t Pipe wagon. A work in progress

 

Bare wood

Faded and flaking paint.

Stained wood.

 

Using thin washes of Railmatch and Humbrol enamels and a bit of paint mixing.

a 10/0 brush and an airbrush.

 

 

Paul Bartletts excellent photos were the basis for this weathering.Good reference is essential.

Brushwork only on the body. Railmatch enamels and Humbrol washes. Transfers from the Parkside kit.

 

So how does it compare?

 

You be the judge

Very nice, I especially like the flaking paint effect on the 12t pipe

I blew up the images to viewable size and the weathering is rather impressive.

Great use of faded colours on tne pipe wagon, very used looking but exactly the right colours to my eye.

Brilliant weathering Mr Worm,just goes to perfectly show you can't beat observation of the prototype to achieve realistic results.

I have one observation to make, and it is most certainly NOT a criticism, and that is that I would not expect the metal strapping to weather to the same colours as the unpainted replacement planks. But I must admit to not having referred to Mr Bartlett's photographs to verify that.

 

Nicely observed and even more nicely executed, just the way it should be done.

Nice work; as you mention using the Parkside transfers, I presume these are 0-gauge?

I was going to ask the same about which scale? Also presuming 7mm.  Very nice work.
