I hope you've managed to smooth things over with your good lady. Modern trains, modern trains, you don't see them on Dylington 😂...cheers James and Dylan 🙂👍
agree on the whole "unboxing" bit.. modelling earlier here, though I do have BR blue in "N".. not that it really works I found, when I plucked up the courage, on some N stuff adding a black panel lining wash made a massive difference, subtle effect but stops the "hey! I'm plastic!" look by adding a bit of depth.. similar with a mid brown works on the yellow. its not weathering as such, just brings up detail and depth. worked well with grilles and so on too always the issue with gloss/satin/matt stuff, models scale, light doesn't, so even 100% colour matched stuff looks wrong because of the way light catches it nice looking model, weathering though will set it apart - may also be partly down to the very nicely done layout under it making the loco look a bit too clean
Thankyou for your lovely comments l think you are right about panel wash its the first thing l do when starting my weathering it makes all the difference . All the best Colin,
I beat myself up every time i buy anything for the railway. Purely because its so expensive. But enjoy it!! Thats why we do the hobby. You can spend that money on a weekly food shop. At least this will last you. Once its weathered, it will look fantastic 👌
Hi Steve thanks for your lovely comment things for this hobby is getting to expensive for me ,I will be making a video on the weathering so you can see if its fantastic l do hope it dose,All the best Colin.
Hello Enjoyed your video on the 31, it doesn't look quite right but nicely detailed and I'm sure once weathered it will look better, although that said I can't get my Heljan Peak looking right, the blues too dark. Just subbed as well. Regards Paul
Thank you for the lovely comment ,l think the Heijan Peak is the worst B R blue colour l have seen l just don t know how they can get it so wrong l will look you up and see your layout ,All the best Colin.
thanks for comment l do have the money but my wife can not . She thinks they are toys silly l know . but l have done it again l got the Accurascale 31 for christmas so lm happy. All the best Colin ;
I purchased the Accurascale Class 31. 31402 runs and sounds great. I do think the Bachmann is a bit shiny. Accurascale class 31 has a centre floating axle per bogie. Why not watch one of my videos. As for the Cromtons class 33 I have loads of them
Don t get me wrong l love the Bachmann but l think the Accurascale is better but the Bachmanns run very well on my layout never had a problem and it was the same price as the Accurascale .l will look you up and thanks for the comment all the best Colin.
I am shocked, not sure to call you a turncoat or a traitor... More importantly you've upset your wife, how to fix it? I know, buy her a nice new cookbook and some oven gloves, and some oven cleaner, I'm sure that will secure back into her favour. And now the real important bit, weathering the model. I think I'd go for a light dusting of neutral grey across the top and see how that tones it. What I would ask is that you photograph the process so we can share in your process and thoughts. Of course, that might be after you're out of hospital if you follow my kindly advice regarding the wife. 🙄😶🌫😉
Thanks for the lovely comment you did make me laugh , l will film it for you l have 2 or 3 locos to do so l will do them all all together ,All the best Colin .
