BroadLeaves Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 As far as I can tell from the posted image, the top of the "G" is 36 pixels down from the top of the wagon. The top of the "W" is... ( * measures again to be sure * ) 36 pixels down from the top of the wagon. You have pixel perfect placement. 2 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank goodness for all our differences, which makes life more interesting. Vivre la différence ! Great work Chris, as usual. Thank you. 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold chuffinghell Posted July 19, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 19, 2023 A bit of light/medium weathering (well my version of light/medium)… ….a number of coats of matt varnish has also lightened the grey…. ….but it’s still darker than the CC2 despite using exactly the same primer, base colour and method (only difference I can think of is that I painted the CC2 during colder weather) 14 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post chuffinghell Posted July 20, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2023 Glazing in, wheels and buffers installed…. ….just painted the roof so hopefully I’ll be able to get that weathered and thrown on sometime over the weekend 28 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 That's looking very good, blends in well with the other stock and the layout. 2 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Rob, I must admit that I’ve weathered it a little heavier than I wanted too but it is what it is 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortuga Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I don’t know that the weathering is too heavy, it looks to match the first wagon pretty much spot on: wouldn’t they have run about together anyway? 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevel Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I think that once the roof is on it will tone it down some, handsome looking pair. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post chuffinghell Posted July 22, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) I’ve attempted to weather the roof this morning, initially I’d over done it so I went over it with a damp cotton bud and ended up with this Which to some may still be OTT but it doesn’t look that out of place on the wagon note the small production line on the left 🤪 Too much?

MrWolf Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 Doesn't look too grotty, especially when you consider that it would have spent a lot of time sitting around and would probably only ever be cleaned by the rain. 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold sjrixon Posted July 22, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 22, 2023 Looks good. As Mr Wolf said, I'm sure this wagon had very little love and spent it's life hiding in sidings. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post chuffinghell Posted July 22, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2023 I found a little time to add the glazing but thought it looked too clean so I sprayed matt varnish on the inside….. ….so I still get the reflection from any light that hits it on the outside but it looks slightly opaque (like dirty old glass?)…..maybe?….I’m just making it up as I go 15 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 It looks like the water staining you get on old glass. The rest of us make it up as we go along too! 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
