Weathering a Class 42 Warship - Proper Mucked

[@EmperorsPath]

appreciate the shout out, thank you! I love the fact you've added textures in there by doing some of the powders before adding the airbrush, it certainly makes a big difference to the overall appearance! Not that its essential as you did a good job with it anyway, cocktail sticks are great for getting rid of the maskol/hobby mask once you pull the first corner bit up, you can roll the stick and the rubber/latex will peel off with it, from experience, one slip with a hobby knife doing this can leave a very horrible mark on the windows! Looks top notch!

Thank you Sam, I am really totally green when it comes to this. Your work is just jaw dropping man. That’s a really good point you make about removing the maskol, I could see one slip going totally awry 😅 I’ll do that going forward.

Tremendous stuff - a real weathering masterclass. Thank you for this informative video, which was also, therapeutic and relaxing go watch! 👍🚂

[@Proper_Chuffed]

Thank you so much!

[@dinmorejunctionmodelrailway]

Fair play, Hylton. Weathering is something I personally wouldn't do as I wouldn't want to spoil a locomotive due to my lack of confidence. That said, I think your result is authentic and a credit to you.

[@Proper_Chuffed]

Thank you so much my friend! I guess it’s a very scary thing so I totally get why most people choose to have it done professionally or not at all 💁‍♂️

[@WaynesLocos]

Powders before Airbrush? Now that’s something I’m gonna have to try 😊 great job!

[@Proper_Chuffed]

Thank you so very much. I suppose no cut and dry method. 😂

[@little_britain]

You've got some proper grot there, mate!

[@Proper_Chuffed]

That’s the idea! Glad you think so, I feel like I could have gone heavier 😂

[@MysticBrick]

Love that you’re trying more things cuz, looks great. Well done e!

[@Proper_Chuffed]

Thank you cuz, something a bit different for a bit 💁‍♂️

[@rocknroll527]

Very good tutorial, thanks for sharing.

[@Proper_Chuffed]

Ah cheers mate, I really appreciate you saying so! 😊

[@lyndengrant1657]

You have made a great first weathering job on the loco. What I find is that everyone does it differently so I pick what works for me and what I think it should look like. There are some great products available now too. Something I did once see and have done to replicate buffer grease is to use a dark HB pencil on the buffer heads once you have finished with the paint! Looking forward to seeing what's next.

[@Proper_Chuffed]

Top tip Lyden, thank you for that, I think I’ll try it out in my next weathering video. Indeed so many ways to achieve this kind effect 😊

[@paulcherrylife3864]

Good weathering. The Warships had a fairly short service life and ended up in quite a grotty condition. I will make a GWR video soon which might help you choose. Thanks for showing. Regards Paul.

[@Proper_Chuffed]

Thanks for that Paul, I look forward to seeing that video! Keep well sir!

[@johanauret7511]

Love the detail man.... Good Job

[@Proper_Chuffed]

Thanks man

[@Cape_Cod_Steve]

👍👍 Good tutorial / nice results . My desktop background is a Class 42 , she has nice lines I think . Look forward to more .

[@Proper_Chuffed]

Thanks Steve, glad you liked it, rather unique looking things aren’t they? Keep well

[@Kilnline]

That looks absolutely filthy Hylt, very good job! It'll look great in the siding near the shed. Might even be worth adding a tarp over the fans on the roof to stop some weather ingress. Over all, mate, looks absolutely fab 👌

[@stephendavies6949]

The addition of tarpaulin is a good idea, assuming the desired look is a loco that's waiting for a decision on whether it will be repaired or scrapped.

[@Proper_Chuffed]

Thanks Rob, that means a lot coming from you bro. I think that’s a marvelous idea! I’ll definitely explore it 😊

[@Proper_Chuffed]

Lovely idea Stephen 😊

[@doubleodave]

I like that matey, really good 👍 I’ve not used those tamiya powders but they do look decent. I use Humbrol and WWS which are more like a pot full of loose powder. The tamiya seemed to adhere a little better to a none varnished surface. I like that white light up turntable thing what is that? I do like the old diesels they look 👌 Nice hoody too Old Proper Chuffed rocking out the merch 😎😎😎👌

[@Proper_Chuffed]

Thanks Dave, I’m happy with where it’s going, I’ve never actually tried weathering powders 🤔 I am trying to source some and hope to give it a go soon! 🤣 thanks mate, I’m quite pleased with how the hoodie came out. See ya soon!

[@stephendavies6949]

Hi Hylton. Contributing to the knowledge base of railway modelling weathering by using the skills learned from detailing model aircraft is most welcome. It also encourages newbie weatherers to have a go! A Warship is without doubt a BR(W) loco. But which GWR steam loco have you decided to buy??

[@Proper_Chuffed]

Thank you Stephen, I certainly am rather pleased with the final result, and as you say, just to hopefully get someone else to consider doing so is good enough for me 😊 I am still debating, I’m hoping something at TMC will sway me, otherwise I’m leaning into the idea of a Night Owl or maybe Accurascale Manor?

[@stephendavies6949]

@@Proper_Chuffed The Accurascale Manor would be a great choice, and safer - if less avant garde - than acquiring a Heljan Night Owl (which I will almost certainly do if the model is ever re-released by Heljan or AN Other manufacturer).

[@JerseyBill-x9r]

So, does this mean that you will have a breakers yard on the new layout? It looked like fun, and you seem to have the tools you need to achieve the end result. This is something I have never attempted before so muck on, lol. Great video, Jersey Bill

[@Proper_Chuffed]

We may need to consider it 🤔 I’m not entirely sure sure I’ll have the space for one, but perhaps its own small diorama at some point? 👌 thanks for watching JB, keep well man

[@leelishman7137]

Adding the bufferskirts and weather those makes a big difference with the Warship. At least at 1 end. Looks very prototypical otherwise..

[@Proper_Chuffed]

Noted, thank you so much, sadly I have no detail parts for this as I bought it second hand 🙃

[@hughoconnor9172]

When weathering you really should work from pictures of a loco in real life to give a proper idea of what they looked like. Though to be fair, it didn't come out too bad!

[@Proper_Chuffed]

But that’s exactly what I tried to do? 😅
