00 Goathland

Hi again Jaz,
Again some simply stunning pics and the devil in the detail is amazing.
It provokes some many “how did you achieve that” type questions / requests for more information .... also the scope / range of subjects tackled in such detail can only be applauded ..... no doubt your previous great approach of “want to learn, experiment and continually to improve” remains key and comes across loud and clear.
Did have a search back on here, to find your 2021 updates, part of which during the then major redevelopment of Goathland, you posted a series of paired photos of model and reference pics, thought they were great tbh (* anyone not seen them - well worth a look / visit 🧐).
If you were up for it / had the time, some step by step guides on some key aspects or pics would be fantastic ...... ?
Thanks again for posting, Happy Modelling for now, Cheers Norm

Optional roof other option below


sat on the layout

cottonbud and DCC powder on plastic cut to look like cracked glass added and looks dull and dusty, I took the plastic from a pack of bacon, waste not want not
The rusty tops are supposed to be wet so shiny finish, or you can keep the dirt finish I did first


I use watered down opaque colours usually mixed with white for faded finishes,then transparent paints for weathering green at bottom where algae gets a hold, black for soot DCC powders are go old here for a dirt finish dull and powdery being the exact look you need
i used thinned black before powders and dribble down like dirt, I often run clean water than touch the coloured paint into the water so it spreads like dirt on rain water

colours in picture I did two options

the order messed up but a plastic hut off a turn table

hope these fit the bill.

In my opinion if you want a realistic look you have to consider each detailing aspect and attempt to get the best you can from it,
I update as much detailing as possible in order to get a more realistic look.

Hornby skips

right the Hornby skip as bought
then I just added some brown transparent shades several times allowing to dry and redoing so colours overlap


other goods similarly improved, fyi blue pallets depict hired pallets meant to be returned

with westhering
without weathering


I also updated sone of the junk, decided against any bright colours,as this is not a piece you concentrate on it’s a piece that you should not pay attention to - if it blends in

Reverse order again…Hornby cheap 08
there are any number of good class 08s I own sone, but I wanted a weathering project so I bought a cheapie,look closely and you can see much is roughly hand painted I could have taken more time but I like quick returns

I added black to the front grill, weathered the top


I added glazing glue for the windows I always get a circular centre as I turn it over adding more glue but taking the top off to add plastic sheet is fiddly and painting a window was fun, I applied with a lolly poppy stick one end curved the other end sharpened, the edges tend to be thicker then get thin towards the centre you can thicken the middle but so far not been impressed with that so just use as little as possible to get the job done


missing detail,so I slapped some paint on

some areas appear darker I s,ap water on add paint let dry repeat until happy, if wet stop or add dulcote or similar, if dry powder finish in similar colours DD Concepts powder works well here

usually when weathering I keep the project in the upright position imitating rain fall but I wanted extra depth so broke my own rule


a transparent orangey brown infers dirt and rust FYI nowadays I tend to download reference pictures as so fed up with not being able to show them, I ask when I can.


reference pictures to my mind are not optional, if you want to get the feel you need the real


that clunky joiner could go made but the point was go cheap so I left it dulled it down and in later photos hid it behind some scenic item



on the work bench


as bought on the layout, can pass muster,but it was always going to be trashed

I first entered a weathering contest here and did a shocking job but as no great applicants I won a prize, and it sort of got me hooked, nothing is safe on the layout

as bought

reverse order,again

on layout



I’m guessing someone will comment, they usually do lol


foam and wood ‘grasses’ added

reference


I recoloured the van I think it was maroon, blue and blue and white paint for a dead look
then plenty of transparent greens for build up of algae
dark brown for the paint flaked over and glue for the lumps were rust appears, thinned black transparent and opaque for dirt

found earlier photos

reverse order
Hubs rusted dirtied, any grooves overlooked dirtied


roof needs work as well water would have pooled





rust bucket


reshaped the front with paint a new V





new blue and blue and white faded paint job


first some thickness for the flaking paint to sit on, glue

Handed paint thick paint perfectly suit this so no thin finish required

Thunderbirds are go….

repainted and an old Thunderbirds toy at a suitable distance, and a fire cos you need a reason…


not certain why the boat got involved but hey ho
