The Hornby loco is nice - but isn't particularly glossy so a bit of work has been done to shine up the non - dirty parts.

A Hornby Britannia -  Clive Of India - shed cleaned and with a crew added.

Took a bit of work to get the sheen to it as the Hornby Green is very matt.

 

A closer look at the front end..

and for something completely different - re-weathering "weathered" RTR wagons. Why do it? Well not all wagons were covered in a brown colour sprayed on  the underframes and lower body sides

 

The client wanted to still be able to see the company names on these two Dapol Rectangular tank wagons so..

I have now completed some more work for a client in Australia. This is a Hornby L1 which has been chipped, the detailing pack and crew added and given a cleaned/dirty loco weathering once over...

I have been busy regauging wagons and adding 3 link couplings to them before weathering them. First off the block are some mineral wagons... 12 24.5T and 2 16T so far plus an unfitted LMS designed long wheelbase brake van..

 

First up 3 24.5T minerals..

 

post-7650-0-50706400-1408725478_thumb.jpg

 

These are Parkside/Ian Kirk kits and are now EM

 

 

now a couple of 16T  minerals - I think these are ex Parkside kits and again are in EM

 

post-7650-0-87502300-1408725553_thumb.jpg

 

 

and finally  a 24.5T with a Hornby ex LMS brake van

 

post-7650-0-26060700-1408725636_thumb.jpg

 

Off to so some 21T minerals next..

I am demonstrating at Steam Swindon next weekend 13,14 September. If you want to have a go come along! Either try out on a test piece or bring something along to have a go at weathering.

Thanks to everyone who made the weekend at STEAM in Swindon so enjoyable - even more so when some further experimentation on weathering effects could lead to more weathering options...

I have had a busy week.

 

Latest items out of the workshop are some parkside Insulated Fish Vans. These have been regauged (to EM), couplings added and weathered

 

post-7650-0-46185200-1411649500_thumb.jpg

 

and the third one is slightly less dirty

Are they supposed to represent engines that have been sat for a long time? Only the powders on the motion look very thick.

They are not noticeable on the real thing. Its a layer of very fine powder. The photos are in effect "blown up" as part of being reduced to go on RMWeb.

 

I will add some other photos of other locos as I finish them this week.

So .. after a busy few days I managed to get on and do some weathering work today. Due to a slight problem with the focus of the camera I apologise for the slightly blurry loco number ...and its going back tomorrow...

and the build up of dirt around the footplate/smoke deflector etc

Thanks Sean...I use a base layer of American rust on the motion work. Its not paint but it does does provide a better surface for the rest of the weathering.

I am in the process of updating my website. Most of it works except for the slide show as I have to set that up separately. I am on doing that but it is taking a bit of time...many apologies.
