Warbonnet Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Need to show them how it's done, George! Have you had a go at a 121 with the weathering stick yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgeconna Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 To be honest have not done anything weathering wise for Yonks railway wise I was using the phoenix Paints and can't really get them sent over to me I have a bash at some stage for sure!

connollystn Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Not a nice job at all, they look more dirty than weathered. Seems like a waste of two good model locomotives to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhb171achill Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Indeed - not great. The grey one has the “wrong dirt in the wrong places”, perhaps; are these things “factory-done”? In real life, with a livery as impractical as pale grey and yellow for a locomotive (and initially still surrounded by steam engines!), this livery got filthy quickly.

Dempsey Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 It would remind you of when manufacturers starting applying their own form of "weathering" to locomotives. Just a quick blast and job done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Dangerous Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Ah, would ye all stop with the moaning, like a bunch of old washer ladies? The IE one looks great. Sure, you could nitpick that the windows weren't covered and the bogie dirt is the wrong colour, but overall it looks excellent, and would look even better sitting on some of the layouts that we've seen here on the forum. Anyhow, it's your fault that they're doing this, George! They wouldn't waste their time if the likes of you or Noel were pumping out batches of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishthump Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Jayzus. How much are they charging for that job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Looks a little bland perhaps. Wonder if they were sent slowly down a conveyer belt in a line past an automated spray station. About the only thing you can say is it takes the pristine plastic shiny plastic look off them. Lots of airbrush shadows where pristine plastic was missed.

Noel Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 €163 out of the box unweathered €215 lightly weathered by airbrush,ie €50 extra for the weak airspray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connollystn Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 It's disappointing to see that Rails used a top class locomotive to promote low quality weathering. It's a bit pricey for what they're offering - maybe it might have something to do with getting Sam to unbox them, especially, if they're paying him by the hour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
