Trains

[SimonC]

Today I am mostly pre-shading trains

[Colonel Kilgore]

Ooh, that is fancy! They look very good like that.

Do please share what you do next with them.

[Sean Clark]

Nice work! Airbrushing I presume?

[martin goddard]

They look good enough for a Russian winter already Simon.

[Sean Clark]

Cold to the touch!

[SimonC]

Airbrushing I presume?

correct

[SimonC]

base coated, and gloss varnished in prep for decals

[Colonel Kilgore]

Is that an "all over" green spray, letting the pre-shading do all the work, Simon?

Simon

[SimonC]

Yes

[sukhe_bator (Neil)]

An interesting effect... don't forget the weathering and general crud... we were forever scraping mud off the ladder rungs of my Dad's steam loco in foul weather and the funnel will accumulate soot as the steam blowers condense. You are also likely to get rust and grime staining running down from any protruding/projecting surfaces. The armoured skirts will mask any splashback from the rails...

[Colonel Kilgore]

Probably weathering after decals?

Simon

[SimonC]

And then disaster strikes 

[Colonel Kilgore]

Oh no - what happened there?

Simon

[SimonC]

Cheapo aerosol varnish ... obviously cellulose based. Then imprudent 'is it dry moment'

[Colonel Kilgore]

Ouch...

I've had too many rattle can disasters - either priming or varnishing - so have gone right off the idea...

I hope you can fix it in short order.
