Weathering Model Railway | Dapol Fruit Van

[@dibley1973]

That looks amazing. You make it look so easy, but I still struggle to achieve natural looking weathering.

[@BuntersYard]

Thank you. I've seen your work and they look pretty good to me

[@dibley1973]

@@BuntersYard - That is very kind but, you sir, are clearly Tier 1 when it comes to weathering!

You make it look so easy

[@BuntersYard]

Its just a bit of practice. Try it out on old, scrap wagons. I have a whole box of broken rolling stock!!

[@medwaymodelrailway7129]

Great detail in the video.Take care

[@BuntersYard]

Many thanks Dave. Have a good weekend

[@stevekey1440]

Love your work. It has given me the confidence to have a go at some of my older, more disposable rolling stock. Thank you.

[@BuntersYard]

That’s great to hear. My work here is done 😎

[@User-3O3]

Nice one, man. :) The moulded detail is really nice on those and your expert weathering really brings out the depth between those frames and panels. :)

[@BuntersYard]

Thank you. The detail on the dapols is quite nice and sharp. A wash or powder brings it out nicely

[@antoinebesnehard]

Hello there. Nice work, great video. My tip: I also use powders from scrubbed pastel chalks. Brings lots of nuance with a great variety of colours. I apply them with make-up applicator, the little sticks with small sponges at the ends the ladies use to put eye powder. My second tip: have your own, don't take Mrs. Bunters' ;-)

Wise words Antoine 😉

[@anthonyhawkins9432]

I think your weathering looks really cool and realistic,i did try it once on a class 55 and 08 shunter,but it made a right mess,I do like weatherd look sometimes.But i aint good enough to do it correctly,less is more i suppose.i leave everything pristine now.thanks though

[@mattseymour8637]

Great weathering! What paints did you use in the airbrush for the roof and creating the faded paint look?

[@ewanperridge3387]

That looks great the powders I use is DCC concepts, you make it look so easy can't wait till your next video

[@BuntersYard]

Thanks for joining us again Ewan. Just a matter of practice and finding out which techniques suit you. Good luck with your own weathering projects

i hear it was so good, BR scrapped it !

[@MissedrBones]

Great video and great affect. What lacquer do you use if you don’t mind me asking?

[@BuntersYard]

Thank you. The final layer coat is Vallejo Matt varnish. For intermediate lacquers (in-between paints) I'll use an enamel laqcuer such as humbrol, because it won't be affected by the thinners etc and your earlier work won't be damaged. I'll put some links in the description

[@MissedrBones]

@@BuntersYard Thank you. Greatly appreciated.

[@pete2sash]

Can I ask if you use oil paints , do you have to seal to stop it scratching off and how long would oil paints take to dry?

[@BuntersYard]

You’d need to give the oils a day to dry properly. I’d always suggest a lacquer coat over any work as I’d give extra durability from handling

[@pete2sash]

@@BuntersYard thank you.. that really helps. 👍🏻
