seth2012chaos Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Just finished the build, my first train model try which I enjoyed building. Looks more weathered in some of the pictures than it actually is somehow. Regards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spad Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Blimey! That is a big boy - must have been enormous! Nicely finished - like the rusty patches. What paint finishes have you used? cheers Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagoneer Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Whoa! That's the biggest train I ever saw. Nice job there. What scale is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagoneer Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 ^^oops, it's in the title. I can see the scale. Even more amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mxyzptlk Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 I do like that. I have one of those in a Monogram box, bought ages ago probably. I at least have a Rivarossi (?) HO scale version of this for reference. It does look good on the track. I like big (small) model trains and also have the Rivarossi Cab Forward 4-8-8-2. Now if someone would bring out a model of that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyC Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Track dirt and general wear is difficult to get looking right on weathered rail models but that looks good to my eye - nice work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What paint finishes have you used? cheers Rick I used Revell acrylics and some oil named Marie's. For the rust I mostly used burnt umber, orange and red. But it's not that enormous, about 46 cm long I guess Whoa! That's the biggest train I ever saw. Nice job there. What scale is that? Thanks, it's 1/87 also known as HO Scale I guess I do like that.

I advise you build it, it was quite enjoyable for me. Track dirt and general wear is difficult to get looking right on weathered rail models but that looks good to my eye - nice work Thank you Honestly I don't know much about train models and this was my first so I checked a few tutorials over the net for the weathering. It came out quite satisfying for me. Edited October 27, 2012 by seth2012chaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 That would look fantastic on a layout as a point of interest. Love your build and weathering. Well done. Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
