hi all is this enough weathering on the first engine or not, dont know much about rust effects and such

A small update.

Very well done indeed a very interesting diorama.

Well here's whats next, glad you liked it.
Hi all here is my next update the junk yard is starting to fill up.

Hi all here is tonights progress.

I decided that this scrapyard should have everything including a kitchen sink, but I don't have a 1/16th sink,so I devised a cunning plan to make one.
first I measured my sink then a made a 1/16th former.

then I cut a piece of ply 2mm bigger than the former (I will be using 2mm plasticard as my hot air gun has bit the dust I will be using a blow torch so need a fairly robust piece of plastic)for pushing the plastic over the former.

oops I did not heat the plastic up enough so only got it half way down before the plastic cooled down, then getting it off I snapped it so I had to make another one.

unfortunatlely I snapped this one getting it off as it was so tight, but this is what I got


and with a bit of cutting and drilling this is what i got

then when painted and added to the scrap yard here is the effect

Hi here is tonights instalment I have not done anything with the wood on the train as I have no idea how to weather plastic wood I may remove it altogether if I cant work out how to age it.

Thanks Alan glad you like the progress so far I think ageing the cab is going to be my hardest job.

Well here is tonights update can't believe its nearly done.
