That was a lot of paint for such light weathering 🎨🖌️

Hi Ian,

 

Not really, if you put too small of a dab of oil paint it tends to dry out too quick. The weathering takes a few days and is kept within a container in the freezer between sessions. This rapidly slows down the leaching of linseed oil from the paint. 

 

I've had pallets last upto a month over various projects.

A small detail to finish off the model. A 25 litre plastic oil drum carved from plastic section.

Not a problem Ian, I hope this gives you the inspiration to dust off your 3mm kit. Thank you for the kind comment.

A very enjoyable day at the 2mm Scale Association's gathering for the North East Area Group's 40th celebrations. The Ruston took home the Grove Trophy and a joint win of the Members Choice Cup. 

 

 

For the event I knocked up a quick little display so the tiny locomotive wouldn't get lost on the table!

 

 

And finally a shot of the Ruston on Mick Simpson's layout Wansbeck Road during the running quality test for the competition.
