It’s basically a 50/50 mix of deep bronze green and GWR chocolate brown. These two colours mixed together were identical to swatch li borrowed from Paul Moore which came via the NBR society. -

Hi all Just to clarify, I no longer do the weathering for Tower other than when I paint a loco or coach for them which I still do. The weathering service has always been a basic job, but at £25 really does represent good value. Cheers Warren

I have been lucky enough to paint models by all 3 Gents mentioned and also Dikitriki. There work is fantastic, but looking st your build Peter it is in the same league, and your in West Yorks so that's an even bigger plus :-) -

It's cellulose deep Brunswick green. The NRM have painted 737 in that colour and as it's a model of the preserved loco well......... -

The Derby Line, Four Track LNER J6
warren haywood replied to dibateg's topic in Kitbuilding & Scratchbuilding
I can answer that, the loco was supplied for painting without wheels or rods. The cylinders are on so these were painted gloss black and the rest of the chasis a dirty dark grey brown. The valve gear was on and as this model is the be weathered I didn't bother with masking or scraping so they are in the same dirty colour as the rest of the chasis. Once Martyn has worked his magic they will look like dirty oily rods -

Just had a peek at the 47XX mate, very nice even if it is GWR, but wouldn't have expected anything else. -
Adventures in kit and scratch-building.

Hi Simon, Anything that needs lining should always be painted gloss whatever the scale. This can then be taken down with the varnish. For varnishing over enamel I have tried lots of methods but if you are going to use a polyeurathane varnish by far the best is Ronseal hardglaze (gloss) with Phoenix precision matting agent added. By varying the amounts of the matting agent the glossiness or flatness can be adjusted to your own preference. The problem with Matt and satin varnish as bought is that it's quite inconsistent and also has quite a grainy texture. Another excellent method, which I now use exclusively is to use a gloss cellulose lacquer. This works over enamel but the mix must be sprayed at quite a high pressure with just a waft of lacquer coming out of the airbrush. Practice is he key but the final finish far exceeds any varnished model. Hope this helps Warren -

Mr Grumpy’s Workbench: MOK 9F occasional updates
warren haywood replied to Mr Grumpy's topic in Kitbuilding & Scratchbuilding
Unfortunately I didn't take any of it, just another BR lined green one and I have loads of pictures of that livery. I will email the owner and see if he can take a couple of shots. Martyn, if you think that anything on the model will Make the painting easier than leave it off or make it removable, springs infront of splashers and rear pipe stands at back of tender are the most obvious ones. -

Just painted one of these in lined BR green, lovely little model, Only one little tip as far as I was concerned was ro leave the little lamp brackets beside the left hand splasher off until after painting if you are going for a lined loco as they get in the way of the pen and make the job a bit awkward. -

No worries Sandy, looks pretty spot on to me, Quick question for you, I have a small Ben to paint,would it have carried Drummond fully lined livery or were they built later in the plain green? My customer likes them lined so it maybe needs LMS red if the latter is the case. -

Ok, to even out the Crimson lake bias, here are a couple of Princesses. These amazing models were built by Nick Dunhill a couple of years ago and I had the pleasure of painting them, Tony Wright took the pictures
