Hey Richard some good tips mate👍. Yeah mate i've done the same with pastels i rub them on a sheet of sandpaper gets them really fine they do a good job a light touch is the go I'm always looking around the arts and craft section of our local cheapie store or scrounging around the backyard for stuff for the trains. Great video the bloopers are a giggle good way to start a Saturday morning down here👍. Good onya mate👍👍🙂.
Thanks David! I'm the same, looking about for cheap modelling materials and tools! Haha! Gotta love a bargain! If I notice any good bargains, I'll definitely share them on the channel! 😁👍 I thought it was about time I shared some bloopers... Have been saving them for a while now, gonna release a big bloopers video soon! So look out for that! 📣👌😂🤣
Shed life👍💯👍 nice one Richard I've enjoyed your weathering series buddy 👍 I've used real coal as weathering ground it up and applied works and looks good 👍
I found the pastels are not as thick as the powders but are good for scraping onto the frames and I tend to use the powders for the body of the wagon. To help them stick I usually paint the frames a dirty black /brown to take off the shiny look first as this gives the powders/pastels something to adhere to. For the body I will first give it a wash of a black/grey for darker bodies and a lighter colour for lighter bodies this helps to bring out detail and again helps the powders to stick . You dont have to use pre made washes oil paints thinned down work well as do acrylic paints you could also mix in a little pastel/powders to give a thicker consistency . By using a wash unless you will handle them a lot I dont tend to spray will a varnish . In my next video I will show a couple of wagons I have weathered and how I did them but of course its only my way of doing it HAHA. All the best ...................Cheers Kev
Thanks for the comment and feedback Kev! Some great advice there! I would definitely be interested in seeing how you do your weathering and how it turns out! I did find the pastel powders weren't sticking very well, so think I'll try the paint / wash on it first! 👍😊 Happy Model building! 😊🖌️🎨
Hi there! Thanks for the comment!😊😁 The layout is... Well, to be honest it's been on hold for a little while due to the cold weather and lack of time...😔😕 However now I can finally start getting back in the shed in the nice weather, I am planning on going back to it! 😁😄So, keep watching out for upcoming layout updates! 😉🔧🔨👍
Hi there! Good question! Yes, by adding a spray of matt clear coat, you can lock in the weathering powders, making the model much less likely to wipe off in your hands when handling the model. Its a great point, and one that I should have included in the video! 👍👍💯
Hi Callum! Thanks for the comment! Errr... No! I haven't! Never heard of that technique! Would be interested in knowing more about it! Have you tried it yourself? 🤔👍🔨🖌️🎨
Nice video! Great technique. Thank you
My pleasure! Glad you like it! Will you be trying it yourself? 🖌🎨
@@DarlingbroughModelRailway Most definitely. I need to improve on weathering, been practicing.
That's great! As my 4 year old says, practice makes better! 😁👍

I agree! It's a great source of inspiration!
Hi Richard
I’ve used pastels before and they work well and are good value . I also use weathering powders too.
Cheers Kev
Hi Kev! Thanks for the feedback! Have you tried weathering powders? If so, how do they compare? 🤔⁉️😊

You can also use things that you have in your kitchen: Cinnamon, nutmeg, paprika, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper!
Great tip here Richard 👍 how's the layout doing?

Should we give layer of clear coat after weathering?

Hi Richard good channel where's the second part of the Rocky Bridge
Hi David! Thanks for the comment! How do you mean? Do you mean the top that I removed? 🤔⁉️
Have you ever tried scraping so brick from your house and using that in the same way
Doesn’t seem to darken
