Wagon work

Just afew wagons finished over the weekend :)

Update on 944

944 looks like it belongs next to 963 now :D

Guys I have a problem!

I put 963 next 957 today and there appears to be a major problem here..

957 just dosent make the cut here.. 

In a nutshell "to clean!"

These can run together like this it will not do..

 This is a great almost before and after too :)

Up date 1.

Not much more has been done on most of the car for my last post though this one is near done. As you can see it looks a lot more like the real thing out on the road :)

The beginning

Hey there! 

Welcome to my blog! This is the place where railways are real and dirty!

I intend to keep a record of my current railway projects on this page so please enjoy :D

It's late and I am half asleep so hopefully this makes sense and I am still getting my head around this but here are my current project :p

From the start here is Auscision ahgx grain wagon.

First thing I did was repaint the green with a lighter green. Then gave the whole wagon a fade wash. This is the base coat and with represent the oldest coat of paint on the wagon

At this stage I had given a newer still faded green coat to represent an area when graffiti was painted over but some time ago. The other thing I have done is using an old brush applied spots of brown.

Some pictures were lost here and so afew steps have been missed but I used weathering powders striking down from the brown specks. This gives the effect of rust running down the side. And next I added what is going to be a fresh coat of green paint where graffiti has been painted over recently.

  

The same was done on the other side. 

The next step is where things get interesting so stay tuned
