Hi lads this is my first post and my first attempt at weathering, reasonably pleased but think i may have went ott, help and advice would be most welcome. Cheers.

Hi and welcome to the site! Looks good to me, what methods did you use?

[RANGERMOUSE]

Thanks for the welcome and your comment, I used Railmatch paints applied with an airbrush and Humbrol weathering powders applied with a brush, then coated with matt varnish.

Hi RANGERMOUSE & welcome to the sIte, you'll get lots of help on here, no charge, even the abuse is free, as for the weathering, it's just magic, pure " GUNDGE " keep up the good work,

[RANGERMOUSE]

Many thanks, may have to try another one to make sure it was'nt a fluke, anything thats free is always good.

Nice work, there - you can hardly make a GM too dirty..

The great thing about Connaught is they can't blame us for today's result

Thanks, thats why i started with the baby GM, easier to cover over any mistakes with loads of grime, as for todays result, the less said the better

That's a nice bit of weathering on the baby. I haven't tried to weather any of my locos but if they turn out like yours if be very happy.
