A fantastic model fantastically weathered. Amazing technique and finish.

All of the above comments, as I'm totally lost for words, that is just something else Jason, brilliant.

Excellent!

Unbelievably good Jason. The rooves (roofs?) are something else

Excellent weathering on the roofs 

Can I just say that they all look very similar on the sides and if some light grey power was 

used on some wagons would help with variety.

Not a criticism, I just think it would make them even better.

I have attached a pic from Fred Dean to show what I mean.

That's a really interesting photo. It reminds me that we need to look at the prototype rather than weathering wagons to look like other weathered models! A friend of mine often reminds me that weathering follows the lines/streaks of rain water. I always try to think of this when I'm finishing models. Buildings as well as stock.

I looked at a number of photographs before I started working on these (as I always do) and there are plenty images which show the wagons without the grey streaking. 

Saying that, I did apply grey weathering powders to the sides of some of my wagons to replicate the build up of dust and streaks but I wasn't happy with how the matt varnish reacted with the powders, so this was airbrushed over. 

I might revisit this and try a different technique, or then again, I might not.

You can blend in weathering  powers and don't varnish over it.

The real wagons are not varnished

I'm aware of this, I've used powders numerous times. 

I prefer to seal powders if I can. They tend to smudge when handling the model.
