That was done by giving the model a coat of Testor's Dullcote then airbrushing a coat of a grimy brown mix of Tamiya paint. When that is touch dry, use a soft brush moistened with 50/50 IPA and water and start to remove the paint in downward strokes. The mottling occurs when the Dullcote reacts with the IPA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishthump Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 (edited) Weathered a couple of Lima Mk2's over the weekend. Although their obviously not the most detailed models they can be made to look pretty presentable and they run very well. Weathering was mainly enamel washes with a little dusting of the underframe and bogies with the airbrush.

flange lubricator Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 A very under rated body which can be improved with a little work but still is not too bad nice weathering job. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishthump Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 Finally got round to weathering the first of my fertiliser wagons. I went pretty easy on the first one, just some washes and weathering powders. 12 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishthump Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 Loco 132 finally gets some weathering. Hoping she’s suitably filthy for her mid 80s timeframe. 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishthump Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 So running mate 126 was up next. Same techniques were used to give the impression both 121’s had been double headed for some time. Forgot to mention I fitted body mounted Kadees to both locos before weathering. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
