bobster Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Well after a great night with the kids I've managed to add the shawplan headcode discs, really impressed with them sorry nothing more got done guys and it's nothing to do with the cans of Bud in the background, they belong to the mrs honest Cheers, Paul Yeah, ok Paul, course they do - but a man does need something to keep him going when he's modelling. Cheers, Bob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted May 17, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 17, 2014 Bit more done tonight (with the help of some modelling fuel - Bob ) I've done the first weathering on the bogies, I'd painted them black gloss originally as I was going to have it ex works, but that idea soon got booted out of the window! Apologise for the unplanned reflection selfie!! Once the bogies were given there first course of weathering I gave the body a dusting of light earth, once this was applied it was seeled and brushed off using the fibre pen. Couple of pics so far of the body on the boggie sides and of the front ends, hope you all like em. Cheers, Paul 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Bob, I always try an fill the tank up at the weekend to it relieves the stress of fiddly modelling! Cheers, Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted May 19, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 19, 2014 Managed to get an hour free so I've have the bogies another dusting along with the body, then the usual sealing and brushing down with the fibre pen. The bogies still need the detailing added and a few touch ups to the body etc but it's getting there. The pics below make it look very earthy but it's a lot darker in reality, also this is just the body and bogies, if anyone's wondering why it looks a bit weird Cheers, Paul 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted May 20, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 20, 2014 Big thanks for all the compliments, just wondering does it need a little blast of frame dirt with the airbrush or is it good to go as it is, maybe with the odd oily bit added? Bit undecided on this, what do you all recon? Cheers, Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted May 20, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 20, 2014 Sorry bit of a poor crop of a photo but think I've mastered the worn step look, although a could be totally wrong ha Paul 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted May 20, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hi, had another free hour so I've done a little bit more to the bogies, I've added silver to the rear of the buffers which will need a bit of a touch up and I've just added a few finishing touches to the bogie sides, so I'm quite happy with the way their looking. I've also painted some brass tube white, this will be cut, bent into shape and added to the bogies to represent the steam heating pipes. Then next thing to do will be to add the steam heating pipes, screw link couplings and vacuum pipes etc then give them a slight weathering, this should be the bogies done. The photos below show the brass pipe painted and ready to be cut, and a few close ups of the bogies. Cheers, Paul 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scouser999 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Looks very good to me too Paul. Will D270 have water tanks fitted? An airbrush would give you more definition of the bogie details.. brush painting mixed with powders can look a little thick and heavy therefore loosing detail in all the muck. You have done a great job weathering your bogies though!!! As for oil stains, I use Badab Black from Games Workshop. I picked up some more at the weekend only to find it has now been renamed as- Oil !!! Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted May 21, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 21, 2014 Morning Steve Thanks for the compliments, I'll have to take a look at that oil !! D270 did have the water tanks , well in 1967 it did couple of cropped pics below as I don't wana upset copyright peeps . I still need to weather the tanks on mine, good job you reminded me ha Many thanks, Paul 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean the powders do give that build up of grimes apposed to what you get with an airbrush. I might give the lower body a slight brush over with it.

RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted May 22, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 22, 2014 Well after a great day yesterday at a wedding and a long day at work I've just had time to cut the brass tubing and glued it into place onto the bogies, not much of an update sorry guys. Cheers, Paul 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted May 23, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 23, 2014 Well I've just managed to attach the extra pickups, I've used thin phosphor bronze wire soldered to the original pickups. I was hoping the vacuum pipes etc would of arrived today so I could finish the bogies and reassemble them but hopefully they'll come tomorrow. If not I've still got the tanks to weather and the buffers etc, so there's stuff to be getting on with. Couple of pics below of the new pickups and a rather clean under frame!! The wheels have been given a coat of frame dirt to. Cheers, Paul 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PjKing1 Posted May 24, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 24, 2014 Evening all, I've added screw link couplings and the various vacuum pipes, all I need to do now it's fit some mu jumber cables, a bit of tidying up on the weathering and adding the sound chip and she's all finished! Again I've really enjoyed this one and I'm really pleased with how it's looking now it's all back together. Hope you like it an please let me know what you think. Once the sound chip is fitted and it's all finished I'll do a video. Cheers, Paul 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
