Having given myself a severe talking to about not buying myself a RTR Pannier tank for Christmas (cos I`m not building another kit). My divertional therapy has been digging out and working on some very old resin building kits.
Tonight I`ve had a look at painting resin modelled timbers to look like old wood.
Now, the last time I painted with acrylics was way back in 1971. I thought about buying a Vallejo acrylic weathered wood painting set and did a bit of research on Youtube into the early hours yesterday and decided they were not suited to UK Railway woodwork colours.
So, this evening I chose Acrylic Titanium White, Ivory Black, Burnt Umber, and Lifecolor Dirty Black and came up with this result.........
Why did I do this you ask ????
Well over the past two weeks worth of evenings I`ve been changing this......
To this.........
...and needed to paint the wooden loading bay structures which I completed this evening....
And this is all because last month I upgraded this..........
To this........
Where is it all going to end ?????
