I've taken to making notes as I go along over the years whenever I do something like your fine weathering etc Rob, although with the advent of the camera on mobiles it has become easier to photograph each stage with the necessary tools / materials in shot to form a sequence as an aid. It may seem a pain at the time but has paid dividends when wishing to replicate previous work. G 3 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my recording studio it’s common practise to video in order to remember elements of the session. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post NHY 581 Posted February 13, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2021 Given your normal approach, Chris, I'm pretty sure you are selling yourself short. Start with a light colour as I did. I then add in the weathering powders. In hindsight I should have started by adding in the 'smoke' powder to fill in the grooves in the planking. Then add the other colours. Its all about blending it all in. But it was a test piece..... And don't panic. If it goes wrong leave it and come back to it. It will work out fine. I did take a couple work in progress photos. Rob. 7 2 1 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, I have another image under my work light. I have tweaked the finish slightly. Not much but a fresh pair of eyes this morning required a bit more colour. Rust was added here and there and the darker areas lightened slightly. For comparison, this is what we started with. To this........ I'm happy with this finish. All I need to do is remember what I did....... But worthwhile testing matters ahead of tackling the buildings themselves. Rob. Sometimes a piece of modelling inspiration comes along, just at the right time, that you just have to crib. This is such a time. Alex 1 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks very nice on a frosty morning though with all the webs. Slightly more on topic, the weathering of sample tongue and groove boards and wagon floors is making me look at how I do things and reminds me that every day is a school day. I think that it is time I invested in some weathering powders and used more of the same paint and techniques from my artwork on my models. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
