Weathered Locos & Stock

[paulc]

Hi Paul,
I see where you’re coming from regarding brown vehicles.
Obviously it depends on the level of weathering you’d like on the vehicle, but for brown, once again, I’d add a little white (or yellow) into the mix to show a fade. How much white (yellow) you add will dictate the level of fade of course.
You could go the other way though and use darker greys, towards black, and push all of that into the nooks and crannies of the vehicle to give you more contrast.
Hope that’s useful.

Hi Neil , that's not something i would have thought of as i tend to not use greys and definitely not black so maybe I'll try to lighten the shade a bit . I tend to use burnt umber if i want to darken the shade .
That's the beauty of using oils , you can always rub them off if you're not happy .

I’ve just completed the weathering on this Masterpiece Models Hall.
The brief was for a loco fairly recently out of works and well maintained.View attachment 228387View attachment 228388View attachment 228389

Outstanding work Neil and that cab detail is something else.
