Wonderful work Rob!
The weathering is excellent!
May I ask how you gained the effect of the peeling paint on the open wagon - particularly where it’s close to the metal work?
Thank you,
Neil.
Evening Neil.
Thank you.
The peeling effect is a consequence of removing the varnished weathering powders using a fibre brush.
It's a bit extreme but basically the whole wagon is weathered using various weathering powders. When happy, the whole wagon is sealed using matt varnish.
Once dry, which doesn't take long, the weathering is removed on a plank by plank basis.
This inevitably gives a variation in colouring dependent on the time spent on each plank.
It also provides a wood grain effect and a peeling paint effect.
It seems to work.
Hope this helps.
Rob.
