About Me

My photo
When i left school back then i was lucky enough to enroll on an engineering apprenticeship. I think this lead me in good stead. I was always one of those children that pulled things apart but actually put them back together again. My first engine given to me at the age of Seven, a Triang Princess Elizabeth. The rest as they say is History. Later in life i got back in to Model Railways and started building Pine Road. This could lead anywhere so i hope you enjoy my Blog.

wagon weathering

Thought i would have a go.
I have weathered wagons before but never attempted the inside of them, so here goes.

I have been banging on for some time about "Citadel" paints on various posts. Thinking outside the box they are intended for the Wargaming brigade but have found them extremely useful and very versatile. You can get one for spraying, texture, layers and the main ones, they do lots of washes.
The one you should buy especially is a colour called "Typhus corrosion" (yes, they do have some weird names)  a  good video and technique of how to weather a 20t  mineral 
wagon


Also Phil Parker has experimented recently with these paints

Here is my attempt, bare in mind it is my first attempt


Each plank was painted individually with a mixture of Greys, creams and beige no brown was used 



For a first attempt i think it has come out well
Have a go
