jcredfer Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Great idea - painting round the edges and that saw is easy too ................ don't forget to Vacuum the dust, so you don't get too much of it in the air ...... I have a couple of ideas from r/c a/c which might be good, for track-bed work, when I eventually manage to get to making a "Roundy" Sandwich with a slope up to a Stn on top, too. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 some layout pictures near Kalboro Bachmann ltd ed Jinty pulling a weathered wagon rmweb668wagon60 www.rocks-by-rail.org which makes me realise mine is too shiny... Kal suggested some damage to the nice square edges of the wagon....he offered to blowtorch it......Eeeek......I didn't ask if it was a joke....just kindly said not this time ust address the white wheels but it would look odd against the weathered wood ones....so decided to pass however I now have the artists mask.....a little play will follow.....as I can pull a little or a lot off.....bonus removable 2nd paint job....should have done that over the graffiti...DOH! The ltd ed is nice but the wagon looks better behind this weathered 03 rmweb677wagon69 I will weather it with some smoke powder later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed a/c Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 They do look very nice Jaz, and appear to b a decent sized wagon. I prefer them with the 03 as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew P Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Hi both, some more great pics, thanks, things like the tunnel mouth look good until you put something dirty and weathered near it. I'm sure it will be fine in a day or two. All the best, Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Sasquatch Posted February 10, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Excellent tree dt! About wagon loads. If you make a block to fit loosely,then glue a washer on top in the middle before forming a mound, painting black and adding the coal. A magnet can be used to lift the loads out giving the option of running empties! I use plywood blocks and roofing tar which comes in one of those mastic gun type tubes. That way no painting is needed and you can just dip the block into a tub of coal and you're done. The roofing tar might melt your P.I.R though.

Those trees are NOT MINE All those trees on David Todds posts are by a good friend of his, they work together on a club layout, we were chatting on the phone and David kindly imported them for me to look at. David and Ray his friend do exhibition work for their club. Some of these fine trees are on Davids layout. But otherwise I agree. His trees are wonderful.

Jaz Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Got a NEW TOY rmweb693maskingfluid1 I don't have anything ready for it...so some improvisation, white mask fluid rmweb694wagon74 gone clear, so not really visible rmweb695wagon75 the colours underneath are easily visible, but you can paint over easily. rmweb696wagon76 I added some dark rust from Phoenix Precision Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaz Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Then I careful tore the masking fluid which haas now set rmweb697wagon77 painted an orange around the edge and some black in the middle rmweb698wagon78 added more as felt it was not enough....oh I didn't notice at the time but the wagon now has a face rmweb699wagon79 I added more runny orange, and deepened the hole wit ha more mat black rmweb670wagon80 I added a distinct orange the colour has not arrived through the processes...yo iPad..to iMac...to rmweb...I'll ry again tomorrow under natural light. rmweb671wagon81 added some weathering powder for more emphasis...LOL the face is very distracting I will need to get rid of it,and do a close up of the rust, but it imitates the start of a hole, or some freaky SCI FI character locked inside a wagon!!!!! rmweb672wagon82 Edited February 11, 2014 by Jaz 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
