I bought 26 n guage HAA wagons in all cradle colours, I used 80s photos to inspire me and a blend of toner powder from a photocopier, silver and grey paints plus matt varnish. I then scraped some tiny panels cleans to represent replaced panels and mixed-up the weathered wagons with pristine wagons to make up my rakes. I still love seeing them on my 6foot x 3 inch diorama with embankment back drop
Be careful with toner. It's a super-finely divided powder, and you don't want to be splashing it around and inhaling it.
There is something lovely about a class 20 in BR blue an a rake of filthy coal wagons. Very good indeed, some of the best weathering tutorials I've seen.
Good video - nice work. I could only do this to wagon kits I am building at around £9-10 anything above that would freak me aout esp when Acc wagons are now around £30
Its a confidence trick!
I have the same fears on locomotives
Practice on the cheap stuff and work upwards.
Very good video. 👍
Thank you 👍
Really enjoyed watching your weathering videos 👍 gives some hope when I get round to doing my coaches and wagons.
Thank you kind sir 👍😀
Must get around to doing my coaching stock too!!😬
They look spot on, top job.
Fantastic. I have a couple of hornby seacow. Their dark blue but I like the grey and rust idea you have used here 👍
Got a couple of those myself, I'll endeavour to get them weathered up one day......
@@Wallsrail shall I hold on and watch out for your video?
Nice work :)
Thanks 😁
Fantastic work!
Excellent work, thanks for sharing. I’d be keen on any further tips you have with that powder-fixer. Cheers, Happy New Year!
Thanks for another informative video enjoyed it I can see that I'm going to have to try take care
really nice 👍
Greg's Models thanks mate 👍😃
Hi,
Can you recall the specific paint colours at all and if they are acrylic or enamel? I love the effect of the black and brown but can’t recreate it.
Would be enamel paints
Humbrol 70 (Brown)
Revell 9 (Charcoal)
Mixed together to get various other shades.
One thing you haven't done is use a soldering iron to soften (not melt) the plastic and use different tools to form the dings and dents these cars collect over their lives. Use the smooth surfaces of your tools for this.
I must try that. So many possibilities there, thanks for that tip.
I've never seen anyone manage to use this technique in a way that looks like dented metal. It always seems to come out just looking like melted plastic.
