Pins (like tum-tacks) to hold the fabric (before I made the fascia)
I do go to that forum from time to time. Lots of amazing modellers.

I decided to take a break from weathering tracks and gluing/planting shrubs, and installed
a new backdrop instead. I chose Sceniking (of Barrie Ont.) due to its low cost and because I was tired to look at the bare wall I must say that I was a bit sceptical at first , but I think it looks pretty good. Here's a look . . . . . …and yes I know, I am not done weathering the tracks yet! And here's the link to Sceniking Co. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.sceniking.com/">http://www.sceniking.com/</a><!-- m --> Cheers

The weathering on those freight cars is just awesome!

Some weather cars. The loco is not weather yet (except the trucks) and the road will be re-done later on, which prevent me from adding more “greenery” at this point. I will be adding telephone poles and vehicles a bit later.
. . . . . . . . And not all the cars are rust buckets or heavily weathered

I like your back drop and I like the variation of weathering on your cars. I think we need to fight the temptation to over weather every car in the train instead of having a mix of heavily weathered, lightly weathered and even some fresh paint jobs on new cars.

Quote: by Russ Bellinis on Sun Jan 04, 2009 8:34 pm Thank you Russ Bellinis You are a-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y right. That is the difficult part: Variation in weathering. I try my best to step away from heavily weather cars (rust bucket) but I find it difficult, the temptation is too great. When I see the real thing I pay attention to the mix of non-weather (new), lightly weather and heavily weather (rust buckets). I must admit that I find rust buckets fascinating to see and to [try to] replicate. |
