Warbonnet Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Now that brings back memories! Very nice. You need to adapt it for the faller road system and put a sound chip in! Quote
enniscorthyman Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Super job there.Were these buses the 071 of the bus fleet ie the noise?. I always remember the roar from them. Quote
Guest hidden-agenda Posted May 2, 2012 Posted May 2, 2012 Lovely work mate you got the roof mounted air-con unit dead on and the bus turned out first class . Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted June 3, 2012 Author Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) I recently got this Vitrains Class 47 in Westcoast Railways livery. I sort of have a wee soft spot for the Westcoast as it gives me the excuse to run some steamers with the class 47 slung on the back of the train also it allows me to run several liveries in my coaching fleet as this is just like the real thing trains where several liveries can be seen. BEFORE AFTER I repainted the roof with Railmatch roof dirt and also I gave the maroon a coat of gloss as the real Westcost 47's have a glossy look to them Edited June 3, 2012 by Anthony Quote

Sulzer201 Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Well done Anthony, the 47 looks the business. Quote
Warbonnet Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 Top notch work on the ViTrains 47. They're a lovely loco and when Hattons start knocking them out for next to nothing it's rude not to pick 1 or 5 up! Quote
burnthebox Posted June 4, 2012 Posted June 4, 2012 As always Anto, a lovely piece of work on that 47, I'll hope to be getting you to do mine one day,(so long since I had it on the TABLE can't remember if it's a 37 or 47 ) what do's that tell ya ! Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) Hiddenaggenda called down to see me today and show me his nice clean break van. Well it was clean when he arrived but some how got dirty running around my layout:cool:. Also my Hornby 08 repainted to D301.

RedRich Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Great work as usual Anto, from yourself and Gareth. The break van looks just how I remember them scruffy, unkempt, but functional. I think the Hornby 08 just has the edge on the Bachmann version. Rich, Quote
Guest hidden-agenda Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 That hornby 08 runs like a dream and looks damn good am very impressed whats the scruffy looking thing beside it? Quote
Glenderg Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Fabulous, the combo looks the dogs dangly bits! Quote

nastyp2007 Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 that 181 looks the biz anto! amazing stuff. Quote
Guest hidden-agenda Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 (edited) Anthony as i have said all along you do the best weathering in the country, its realistic and worth every penny there,s no point in paying for DUSTING any one can spend 15 minutes with a spray brush and lightly blow some black and brown over a model and charge 15 or 20 quid for it. Edited June 18, 2012 by hidden-agenda Quote
Sulzer201 Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 Have to agree - this standard of weathering is transforming the models and making them look exactly how they often appeared in traffic after 30 to 40 years of use. It's absolutely excellent weathering and I will definitely will be sending up some shiny locos for the 'treatment.' Quote
Glenderg Posted June 18, 2012 Posted June 18, 2012 That's why I'm sending a pristine 181 to the man. I've seen one or two carriages in the flesh, but not a loco. However, I'm convinced he sees weathering with truth - oil spills, grease, window dirt, general neglect, grime, bogie dust, rust, sun bleached paint, streaks. Many others don't. Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the kind words lads I really do appreciate it. Weathering is an art I really enjoy doing. Its very easy to take your airbrush and just dust different colours of paint over a model. But I would not call this weathering. Weathering is not about putting paint on a model but it about taking that paint off and toning/fading/bleaching/rusting etc etc over and over again to get the look of the real thing. I spend hours working on just one model to get the desired effect that I want. I do wish I could just give a model a light dusting of paint in a couple of minutes and call that weathering but its not what I call weathering. Some customers may be happy with that but usually my customers demand a high service and its provides me with a great challenge in replicating their models to the real thing. Once again thanks for your kind complements and PM's I've received regarding my work . Edited June 19, 2012 by Anthony Quote

Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted June 20, 2012 Author Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) This is my own brake van that I have fitted with leds in the lamps and interior. I did her in the later IR livery I still have to add the vacum pipes. A big big Thank You to Hiddenagenda as I'm snowed under painting and weathering for you guys he built the kit for me otherwise it would have been put on the long finger. Also a big Thank You to Des for a lovely kit. Painting and weathering were done by myself. Enjoy Edited June 20, 2012 by Anthony Quote
Flying Scotsman 4472 Posted June 20, 2012 Author Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) The fluorescent lights in my layout room don't usually let you guy's see the full effect of my work so as it was a nice sunny day today here are some photos of the break van in natural light Edited June 20, 2012 by Anthony Quote
enniscorthyman Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Lovely stuff there bud. The windoff looks good,and would not mind one Myself.keep the dirt and filth going. Quote
Northman Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Although I like my models in pristine condition,I must confess the brake van is extremely well done and looking good. Quote
irishthump Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Stunning as always, Anto. Have to say your work never fails to impress... Can I ask, are the lights DCC controlled or just powered direct from the track? Quote
