Weathering

Hi Guys,

I'm wanting to have a go at some weathering on my models and wondered if anyone could recommend some good weathering publications for garden railway scale? I've seen a few hornby weathering magazines and I would guess the same techniques would apply for larger scale? If anyone could recommend anything that would be great!

Thank you

i use spray inks from model shops and a coat of mat lacquer for basic stuff

Hope this helps a little

They're not books, but you might find these videos useful, from the series that Ian Stock did. In these he interviews Andy Coward about his techniques:

I think the weathering techniques I use are largely pinched from indoor scales - a combination of washes and dry brushing.

Cheers,

Andrew.

I recommend this book:

BUT, you can only learn your own style by experimenting so paint a model up as new and then make it look like it has worked for a living!
