Very interesting. Looking forward to having a gawk in person.
An international forum for garden railway modellers in all scales and gauges. It is free to join and is funded through voluntary contributions by its members. Many thanks to all those who keep it going.

For the chassis parts try putting the model on a sheet of timber/cardboard and then spray around it on the sheet about 50-100mm away the over-spray will give a fine coating resembling dust and dirt kicked up during use.Old Man Aaron wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2024 6:32 am 11/04/24
Cheers gents, glad you like it. I really do.
Those of you keen to see weathering will either be intrigued, or disappointed - maybe both.
I've decided for this one, to try something new. Something a little different from my growing little fleet.
I want this one to look like a recent repaint. Not just "paint the model and call it done". But not an immaculate shed pet, either.
One of those things where absolutely everything has been painted, with smaller parts like the sandboxes being picked out in another colour.
So far I have simply painted the model. Still figuring out how to go about this effect..
I'm thinking a few months of grime and wear. Painted-over knocks and damage. Grubby wheels, couplings, and that oil stain you see down the sides from the engine. Some rust on the exhaust, bleeding through the zinc paint. That sort of thing.
