So; It's been a while since my last post. Work gets in the way of so much fun. This model is an H0 Scale (1:87th) Bachmann GE 70 Tonner, one of two that I bought, back in 2006. This is the first locomotive that I've weathered. I've done lots of freight cars, but it took me some time to work my way up to doing this locomotive. All weathering is oil paints, applied using a make-up sponge technique, including dry-sponging. Inspired by watching Night Shift's channel on youtube. And some goofing around (is there a better way to learn?). There's maybe a little more work to do if I really feel like it, on the front and the rear pilot, to get some crud there thrown up from the track by freight car wheels, but really I'm just nit-picking at this point. For everyday use on a layout, she is done. To the photos: Driver's Side: 1: Lit from above (like on the layout) 2: Side lit to show all of the underbody weathering Conductor's Side: 1: Lit from above (like on the layout) 2: Side lit to show all of the underbody weathering I know I don't post much, just too tired after work to get online and post most days. I hope that you are all well, and very thankful to be a part of this site. I'd like to thank you all for your inspiration. Question for you though: How do you all get rid of the dust and such on your models. I cleaned this well (I thought) until I looked at the photos and saw all of the dust and crud there. |
