Vehicles, and the weathering thereof

[Jaz avalley]

loads of us weather out railway rolling stock, and show what we have done, I cannot see a weathering vehicles so I’ll start one, anyone with weathered vehicles can feel free to pile in, show off their work, ask about how to etc.

People often say do ‘I hate VWs as I often weather them, I love them which is why I have so many.

 

A good reference picture is always a good place to start, these are UK plates, as I model UK. Oi who threw a brick…lol.

This is 1;43 a toy but had nice detail and would look nice on a O gauge layout

no box,but likely details ubderneath

as being weathered no need for a nice shiny finish in fact just the opposite and no smooth colour either

stsrt of the rust

nice bum 

the reference

this belonged to my dad who had passed so cutting the door and ripping the headlight wasn’t on the cards,adding sun visors was though

scruffing the body work,the bumpers the tyres,

I like warhammer and their citadel paints which work for this project

birch seeds for leaves

messed the windows up on purpose

ashiny red layer paint works nicely here in my opinion.

00 is half the scale less detail, and needs finer work, but you need to be careful with the manufacturers these are both supposedly 00 but you cannot out them near each other in the layout!

I like plastic headlights not painted one,but sometimes beggars can’t be choosers, and you go with what you can get

Plant paints in picture expect to be the ones I use

machinery tends to be worked hard

Boxedreferenceunboxed

the window paint came out a touch thick but I powered on regardless

my favourite paint bar none for weathering

not so toyish

and on a proper layout it looks better

moving a load

chains pulled taught

take a few pictures bin the worst, show the better ones

 

[Jaz avalley]

a bit plasticky

started with the dirty look

mucky

getting there 

upgrade not obvious

maybe I should say downgrade, flat tyre tut tut, a warm knife not a good one melts the tyre,pay attention though.

I swirled mud in water and brushed it on as a trial

rust on wheel is paint
