Well, the title of this blog post is a bit of a give away as to the content...
I recently posted on the Narrow Gauge Modelling Online Forum about the use of MIG
weathering powders and washes. I tried them out on a selection of Welshpool & Llanfair wagons i've got. This photo shows the results compared against an unweathered wagon.
This was my first attempt at weathering anything properly. I'm very pleased with the results, and was happy with how easy it was to achieve the results you can see in the pictures.
It's not just wagons that will need weathering though, i plan on weathering absolutely everything on PnC to make it look life like. I doubt that weathering powders will be applicable for some things, but i expect that someone somewhere on the internet has written about weathering anything i come across a problem related to. Model Trains Weathered has been very useful and contains some superb examples of weathering and some detailed descriptions on how to achieve similar results.
Just a short one this time, i'll expand on other weathering subjects as i come across them on Dunbracken... i can see the puffer being fun making that look really 'well used' and grimey!!
