D1018 Western Buccaneer

[Phill Dyson]

Those glimpses of the MIGHTY MAYBACH really are very effective

I have lots of western books and pics so i trolled through those for info onhow much could be seen. I also looked at the engines them selves as to what i needed to re-create. This was also done with the boiler. Unfortunately the boiler was more of a problem as the preserved westerns dont have them. I looked at photographs of nameplates and found some with the boiler visable , so i was able to get the right position

Thanks for the additional info on the engine theatres Rob. As Cynric says, these parts would be ideal candidates for a bit of resin casting, especially if building more than one Western.

Are the Railmatch paints Acrylic or enamel? Howes only seem to list Acrylic? Last time I used them they were enamel :scratch:

 

[lancer1027]

Railmatch do both. I use enamel for main colours and acrylics for some weathering

 

[28ten]

Ill try one of each then I am going to give these a shot as well https://airbrushes.com/product_info.php?products_id=20595 as I have been impressed with how the standard colours spray. bizarrely they are cheaper individually :scratch:

Hi Ian, my weathering is'nt as good as alot of peoples as are my techneiques. What are you wanting to weather ?

 

[iploffy]

I want to experient with weathering the Cavalier coach (thats why I built it) and for faded paintwork yours is the only thread I can find to show me how to do it, i.e. light undercoat followed by normal paint work faded using a fibre brush to taste in a steady downwards movement then suitably numbered and dirtied.
