Looking for more realistic rolling stock? Expert railway modeller Phil Parker provides some top weathering tips for wagons in this latest video. For more great railway modelling advice, go to www.world-of-railways.co.uk
Here because I live near Hamilton Palace :) good job on the weathering :) I really like this range of oxford rail wagons (and even more so because two are local to me)
I have weathered wagons in the past with a very similar technique, But I have a couple of coaches and horseboxes to do. the axles, bogies and chassis will be similar to the video but what's your tips for bodies (Maybe another video please)
The paints and weathering powders are all Humbrol and available from most model railway suppliers, even in lockdown fortunately! The weathering ink is from Games Workshop. Hope this helps.
I would assume that the method you’re using for the wagon is the same for weathering a carriage. As you know, I’m creating Ongar Station when I finally move home!!
Multiple layers of uniformly applied dirt? Very disappointing. What about some "grease" paint around the wheels, rust on the metallic parts, and some water decay for the wooden parts? And what about some gradient, what's closer to the ground should be dirtier, because that's where the dust is coming from.
I wanted to watch but had to stop after a minute or two. There is that awful background music that seems to be an obsession to video makers these days. Sadly, nobody seems to realise just how intrusive it is nor how it fights the narration, the whole point of the video. All I can really hear is that completely unnecessary twang twanging over the important bits, the explanation. Sorry.
