Merc435 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) hi andy yeah the tin foil works well as i see it being used by some one else here on rmweb so thought id give it a go.it will look better once painted i think. things are going ok at home thanks for asking. terry p.s. do you own a mercedes benz hence your profile name? Nah, if only. I used to drive a Mercedes Axor for the company I work for, my original username expired and I couldn't log back on, so that was the first thing that came to me. Glad to hear things are improving, I hope the modelling is helping the long road back. Edited June 9, 2013 by Merc435 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do think that the 47/7 will need a heavy weather as from what I've seen they are quite clean, well ish. But it looks fine as it is to me, it's a beast!

But it looks fine as it is to me, it's a beast! Tempted by one myself even thou I'm current scene funny you should say that as i have been looking through tonnes of photos for the 47 today and every one seems to be clean as you say, so it looks as if i will have to give the under carriage, bogies and roof a light dusting along with some dirty exhaust smoke.dont want to over do it really. i am just about to upload some photos of some of the weathering i did on the locos yesterday including the 128 which i have still to add the finishing touches too. i have a question for you...you know when you leave a comment on some ones thread, how do you know if they have replied as i dont think i get and notifications so i have to remember who i left a comment with and revisit their thread a few days later to see if i got a reply but im finding it hard to remember who i have been talking too? terry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybridangel77 Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Hi guys I have been busy in the loft over the last few days and have started to paint the the chimneys and white strips in a concrete colour. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybridangel77 Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 whilst in the loft i decided to dust off the airbrush and get cracking on with weathering my stock as some of the locos i started weathering some time back but never got round to finishing them. First off is my new Heljan class 128 which i love so much i want to get another one.i have only just started to grime this up and have still got lots to do to it yet to get it looking how it did back in the day but as you can see from the pictures the weathering its received has made a huge difference already. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybridangel77 Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Next up is my Heljan class 86 which again is one of my favorites.i started to weather this some time ago but then lost interest so i decided to crack on with it but as the body sides and bogies were more or less done i wanted to concentrate on getting the roof very dirty as they were in real life but not sure if its looking as grimey as i first hoped it would. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hybridangel77 Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Next up the line are my Bachmann class 57 arriva, Heljan class 33 NSE and the Heljan class 33 BR blue. the first two i started weathering a while back but again never got round to finishing them off. the 33 NSE is now finished and is very very dirty and in need of a visit to the wash.the 57 is very dirty also and is almost complete apart from the roof. the BR blue class 33 is a new model and have only just started to add a few coats of grime to the bogies and body sides.i still need to add some more light dirt to the sides and make a start on both cabs. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am partial to the 86 and the 57 in Arriva livery. im the same over the 86's and 57's. although i did not like the 86's at first but have now grown on me and my 86 is one of my favorite locos i own. im thinking of getting another one but they seem to be very expensive.

hybridangel77 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Hi guys Well i have been busy in the loft this week building the new station and weathering my stock.But i have decided to take a break from all that and have decided to scratch build some houses from plastikard which will be used on the residential area of the layout when i get round to building it so at least i will have some of the houses built ready for it. So here is the bare frame of the houses minus the roof and windows ready for the brick plastikard to be glued on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hybridangel77 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 As you can see in the photos all four walls are now complete with brick plastikard ready for painting. I have this time managed to butt up the embossed plastikard at the edges of the building and sanded them down so there is no visible join. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
