I also like the fact that the Heyside permanent way gang have been oiling the fishplates.

................. the very convincing rust areas on these wagons.
Richard - do you have time to give a very brief description of your method for creating the very convincing rust areas on these wagons? Zooming right in to the picture it looks like it might be simply an overpaint job, but manages to look just as convincing as the more complex basecoat rust / maskol / grey top coat / weathering wash method.
Thanks,
Tony
It does look very convincing doesn't it?!!
I'd like to know more about those tiny chains attached to the door locking pins - are they moulded into the bodies Richard, or are they something you've added?
Lovely work - as ever!!
Cheers
Mike
….My approach is pretty impressionist, and doesn't survive close photographic inspection, but then I need a lot of wagons that will be viewed from a distance…...
..... and I just drybrushed a tiny bit of gunmetal over them.
Here is a close-up of the area. Superb crisp detail.
