Weathering L/L Class 47

[Road Stone]

Re visiting my effort of weathering. The victim being a Heljen 47 without expanding chassis (yet).

 

Had a lot of good advise on this forum re this so here's a re cap:

 

I started with it looking like this:

 

 

After some pointed advice, I rubbed off most of the paints leaving some as a base and started using powders and ended up with this:

 

 

So today I added a bit more gunk here and there and she now looks like this:

 

 

Scratched the black paint around the window frames to make it look like its peeling off or worn off. Can't really see it in the pixs!!

 

 

Two things to do now. 1) How do you get that "buffer" look? The silver with the black scratched/damaged paint look.

 

And 2) what is the technique in sealing the paint powder so it does not rub off? Piemanlarger has started another thread on this issue.

 

 

Many thanks for the help. It does look dirty!!

 

Cheers, Jerry
