[@blueridgebonsai9155]

I have watched this video 5-6 times and I learn more each time!

[@BuntersYard]

Thats good to hear. Thanks for watching (many times!)

Nice video today thanks

Glad you enjoyed it

[@davedrury1284]

Thanks for doing that. Much appreciated

[@BuntersYard]

You’re very welcome

[@medwaypeninsulaMR]

Thanks Dave as i was looking for a carriage weathering demo ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Cheers Kev

[@BuntersYard]

Great timing! I’ll keep an eye out on your channel for when you weather yours

[@User-3O3]

The master craftsman does it again. :)

[@BuntersYard]

Thank you. How have you been? Not heard from you for a while

[@User-3O3]

@@BuntersYard I'm okay, man. Thanks for asking. Always watching. I still can't access my Instagram account though, so I've pretty much given up on it now. How are you doing? You seemed to go pretty quiet for a couple of weeks.

[@BuntersYard]

I do some film extras work and had a couple of weeks on a movie. All good fun

[@User-3O3]

@@BuntersYard That's great, man. I used to do that as well, although gave it up in the end. Wasn't making enough money to live on as a sole income.

[@BuntersYard]

Not many make it a full time job. Nice change of scenery though

[@brentleajunction]

This video has helped I've got 18 west coast railway coaches todo now I know what todo thanks Paul

[@BuntersYard]

Thats great. Good luck with your weathering

[@TheDaf95xf]

Good morning 👍🏻 One I requested a while ago 🤣 Absolutely fantastic and well worth the wait 😀 I’m sure this will give modellers lots of confidence including me to have a go without making a complete mess lol 😆 Take care cheers Stevie 😎

[@BuntersYard]

Yes. Thanks for being patient. I’ve had a few requests for carriages. I’ll be doing a couple more with heavier weathering plus a relic too

[@BrianTuckerRailvideos]

Excellent method,I weather in a similar way,you really add some fine applications to the relief on the coach sides and bogies,thanks for sharing.

[@BuntersYard]

Glad it was helpful!

[@thescrapline4905]

Nice example of how to get light weathering, not always the easiest to do, one pass to many and it's over done. I've been trying for years and mine always come out looking like they're ready for the scrapline lol.

[@BuntersYard]

Yeah it’s so easy to get carried away 😂 Just need to step away for a few minutes and then look at it with fresh eyes

[@anthonyallen1847]

great video as usual and you have encouraged me to have a go over the last few months with some great tips and advice keep up the good work!

[@BuntersYard]

That’s great news. Good luck with your projects 👍🏼

[@DavidShorter-h2s]

Do you need to seal the paint and powders with a varnish? Thanks

[@NicholassTrainChannel]

Brilliant video it turned out looking fantastic. Will be doing the same to my fleet soon. and your only 10 subs away from 1K congrats.

[@BuntersYard]

Thank you. If set myself a target of getting to the 1000 point by the end of July, so I’ve got 32 hours to get 2 more victims….. I mean, subscribers 😂

[@stevesmith4665]

Great tutorial and great finish, if the opportunity arises the hornby q1 would be good to see, judging by photos they really took some wear and tear in service , thanks again for a great channel and looking forward to your well deserved 1000 subscribers.

[@BuntersYard]

Thank you. I recently did a Q1 as a commission but didn’t film it. I’m on the lookout for another one, so hopefully a video will follow in the morning too distant future

[@stevesmith4665]

@@BuntersYard just to add I really like the effect of dry brushing of the steel colour though some people I'm sure would say it's not prototypical I think it gives a sense that it's a metal object, this is where the lines blur between realism and art.

[@BuntersYard]

Yes you’re right. It would be easy to use a lighter grey shade which then become a highlight on the raised pieces, but personally I like the steel colour

[@roulernbleu4532]

Nice looking result! I was a bit worried when you were wiping off the extra paint from the roof; typically at least in continental Europe, the passenger cars are/were washed in a manner that the walls and the lowest strip of the roof are the cleanest. So, I would start the roof excess paint removal from that strip, and it looked like you left it all there and wiped only the middle section. Anyway, the end result is really good looking.

[@BuntersYard]

Thank you. Its just my interpretation. Glad you like it

[@roulernbleu4532]

@@BuntersYard I need to find me some reference photos from UK... In Germany and France, this is/was pretty typical result after a cleaning: www.wagonslits.de/phpbb2/album_showpage.php?pic_id=1215

[@marksinthehouse1968]

Really nice ,I said this before a bit of weathering really brings out the detail on these models ,is it the hornby railroad mk1 ?,the end shot with it complete looks great mate ,all the best ,Mark 😊👍🏻

[@BuntersYard]

I’m not sure. It’s from one of the collections, a Hall class plus 3 coaches.

[@marksinthehouse1968]

@@BuntersYard ok mate ,cheers

[@reslukeuk]

Thanks Dave this was a great video. Following weathering with powders or paints, do the windows need masking before coating with a varnish or will they be ok? Just envisaging that being a total paint to do!

[@BuntersYard]

I personally just wipe the excess varnish off the windows with a cotton bud. Because it doesn't quite get in the corners properly, it makes the windows look like they haven't been cleaned thoroughly

[@reslukeuk]

@@BuntersYard thank you 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@lukejackson8741]

Do you do anything to seal the powders?

[@BuntersYard]

It depends. If it’s for my own use then I won’t always seal them, but on a wagon or building that’s for sale I generally use a matt varnish. A light coat first, otherwise you can wash it away, and then a second coat

[@neilstephen6761]

Njoyed your video but ghastly background noise

[@BuntersYard]

Noted

[@biggjazza6759]

Can you sack the background music off? Really unnecessary & detracts from otherwise informative videos.
