  1. Unfortunately this shunter has really suffered over the past 8 months. The radiator was intact and a number of the panels on the engine cover were present. I've been watching its slow demise. I don't know if it is kids or scrap metal thieves.

    It's all very sad.

    There's a plaque in it some where that says it belongs to the Bahamas railway society.

  2. Really enjoying this thread, but in my opinion you definitely need some variation in that grass colour. Perhaps some areas where it isn't so lush, I'm thinking some brownish patchy areas where the sun has scorched grass. In future you might want to include some more of the scorched grass colour in your mix.

     

    I know it might sound drastic, but hacking it with scissors then giving it a light blast with the airbrush with a light dirty colour might help just to pick out the tips of the grass where it is slightly dying back.

  3. Not sure if this Class 33 has actually been authentically weathered by being left in someone's loft for guano and asbestos dust to collect on it. Well, that's the polite description for the technique used; others call it pebbledashed:

    Check out picture 2 and enlarge.

     

    Hilarious, wonder what prototype picture they worked off to create that effect.

    I do see you popped a bid on though :D
