Schaumann Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 hello all i'm a bit new to all this railway modeling been building models all my life but not really railways untill i saw some sound locos at barrowhill this year at the model rail show since then i'v decided to build a small shelf layout in my workshop just a few small sheds and some sideings thats all nothing like the standerds on here atall but i thought you all mite like to see the parts that are getting on a bit nothing fancy nothing like a real layout just all madeup and bit of fun bareing in mind i'v never built a layout before or weatherd any trains before these are my first trys and very much work in progress probably not very good haveing fun tho none the less thanks Russ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schaumann Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 hello really just airbrush with tamiya paints mostly errm mixture of dark earth and buff/ flat black waterd down and some tamiya weathering sticks for the oilyness and for rusty stuff life colour dust and rust lightly base coated and rubbed off when half dry tracks are just sprayed with flat earth in a watery mixture then really watery flat black on top for the oily effect and anything i'v got left in my mixing pots stuck the grass down and gave them a light dusting of watered flat black aswell around the rails and buffers then painted the buffers with tamiya weathering sticks waterd down let it dry off rub it with a kitchen towel then whent over the top of them with the airbrush with watery flat black again not really anything complicated havent plucked up the courage to do any of the other locos yet i'm glad evryone likes them i thought they mite be a bit rubbish Cheers Russ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

binesrail Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 aswell as some more locos but stuck wot to get now ;( allso stuck with the rest of the layout not sure if i wont another shed or make it a bit more open or something Hi Russ, You dont have to listen to this but if you look at any yard the further away from the sheds you go the more overgrown and less clutered the track will be, unless it goes into a station or refuling area. just a thought Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schaumann Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 are yes i think i know wot you mean i'v got that bit you can see in the pics then another maybe 4foot by 2 foot which is just sideings all inall its about 7 foot long and varys from about 12inch wide to to 2 foot wide at the end so its pretty much all going to be clutterd up i think there no room for a main line or anything so i guess its just all going to be sideings and sheds and stuff thanks for the tips allways helps i think i got model builders block with it at the moment allthought i have all my points working now at the shed end so i can sit im my chair and move the locos where ever i wont that end without movieing which is quite a lot of fun haha thanks Chris Cheers Russ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
