Weathering Goes Horribly Wrong!! Step by Step - Weathering a 16T Wagon

[@NewtonGrove19F]

The idea of weathering can frighten many people, but it's not as hard as it seems. Join me as I take you on a detailed step-by-step weathering guide and transform the Dapol 16t mineral wagon into a work-stained piece of art.

Always appreciate your channel content - and this doesn't disappoint. A masterclass for sure.

Thank you for your kind words Chris. I’m happy to share the little I know to help the O gauge modelling community and those who want to get into to 😊😊

@35:53 Looks like a literal photograph! Great job, really enjoyed this. I'm not sure a working wagon would end up looking quite THIS bad because of the wear on the components. I would make the wheel rims(?) shiny, almost mirror reflective.

[@NewtonGrove19F]

Thanks for the compliment. As you wound have seen I was working with a reference photo of a 16t wagon and the wheel rims are not shiny at all. Remember that these wagons were never cleaned. While the LMS etc had white washed wheel rims on their wagons back in the early days of the Big Four, by the time BR was seeing out steam and many of their wagons, they were run down and covered in grime and gunk. Thanks for stopping by the channel and I hope you enjoy all future content too

@@NewtonGrove19F That's true. I suppose it was non working stock.

I've been weathering a couple months now. Specifically on Vanfits and insulated vans from the pre-tops and 70's eras. I've used Paul Bartlett's photos as inspiration

Hi. Very useful tips there thank you. Do you finish a wagon by sealing in the powders? Varnish etc ? Thanks, Rob.

[@NewtonGrove19F]

Thank you Rob. I generally use a light dusting of matte varnish or matte hairspray to secure it all in (it just didn’t arrive by the time I made the video).

Increasingly difficult to hear you due the music - not sure why you did that.

[@NewtonGrove19F]

Because a 35min video without music is boring. If it’s not for you then you don’t need to watch the content. I’ll be using music in all videos just so you know.

@@NewtonGrove19F Daft when you are speaking. Still I'll unsubscribe. Thanks.
