Enzo the Magnificent Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 The final bulkheads have been fabricated and/or painted up. Now begins the task of weathering the interior. The engine will be weathered seperately and fitted last. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted September 2, 2023 Author Share Posted September 2, 2023 Now for the weathering. I have used Flory Models clay washes in various colours and Lifecolor liquid pigments from their rust set. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor L Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Looking good. Flory Models is a new one on me. Just had a quick look at their website, and they've got a few videos that I'll take a longer look at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at their thick washes as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muchmirth Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Looks excellent Enzo! Lovely and grimed. I’ve hear a lot about the life Color’s rust set, must get me one too. Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby No Mac Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Now that is just pure filth I'm another fan of the Flory washes, they're very easy to use and controllable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't have as much rust, but it will have as much filth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share Posted October 16, 2023 Some bits and pieces are needed for the buffer beams. West Hill Wagon Works to the rescue again. They produce a 3D printed set for the Class 37 buffer beams and another with suitable couplings. I have primed these with steel wheel car paint from a rattle can.

JeroenS Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Nice. I like that picture taken from the side with the missing front. It looks properly deserted and sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
