HI all

Found this weathered 31 ,looks like somone has set fire to it! Top bit of weathering

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Lima-class-33-weathered-OO-HO_W0QQitemZ270545669819QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Trains_Railway_Models?hash=item3efdc74ebb#ht_500wt_1182

Simple process of weathering - place loco in a damp box and store in a musty old cellar for 3 months, remove, clean off any mouse droppings (just teh lumpy bits - dn't want too much texture), and carefully dry under a 200 watt lamp (not too close of course), photograph and then advertise. I wonder how many more are brewing away below stairs?

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:

Boy that has to be the best laugh i have had in a very long time and the best thing is someone brought it!!!

Seems like the cheapest professional service in the country- take a few pounds off for the base wagon, materials and the listing fee and he's earnt £6 for four hours work....

 

On a similar note, how can I become a professional modeller...? By some definitions, it's a tag you can give yourself for producing models only for sale or offering services for financial reward, regardless of the quality. It seems similar to the much maligned "exhibition standard" tag...

Yesterday morning my motor bike decided to brake down, freezing fog stuck down a country lane, no light, cold, fed up, two hours to walk home ??¦and I bet it??™s going to cost me an arm and a wallet to get fixed, oh well just means I will have to stay in over the weekend and get on with the layout!.
