My first attempt at a steam loco

Hi, thought I'd have a go at weathering a steam loco (kettle) so I bought a Hornby Railroad 9F here's the results. Remember I'm a modern image modeller (Quite enjoyed this)

For a first attempt i would be pleased with myself

 

Weathering is a dark art with no wrongs or right ways of doing. You've managed to get the colors bob on their what techniques have you used to create that dirty beast?? I remember the first loco i weathered was a tender drive Hornby 9f & its been a long learning curve since then. Glad to see another has taken the plunge into weathering thats the hardest part taking paint etc to a nice clean shiny model loco.

Thanks. For this I used Railmatch Acrylics light rust and weathered black, airbrushed on. Then added some chalk pastels ground on a piece of sand paper and brushed on.

Railmatch acrylics are brilliant IMO ! I use those myself & all the weathering colors they do are ace all my locos get a treatment of dirt its all i seem to do these days weather models
