| However accurate
a model may be, it only starts to look truly realistic when
the effects of weathering are added. Wind and rain, wear and
tear, oil and smoke – all have a huge impact on the
appearance of things. This is something we need to replicate
on our models, whether they’re locomotives, buildings,
coaches or wagons.
Effective weathering enhances models and helps them integrate
with the layout as a whole. It also allows you to add a welcome
touch of individuality, setting your models apart from each
other and bringing out their different characters. There are
many ways of weathering a model, but the subtlest results
undoubtedly come from using a quality airbrush and, most importantly,
your powers of observation.
Editor for seven years of the influential finescale magazine
Model Railway Journal, Tim Shackleton has written close to
100 articles on a variety of modelling subjects and gives
regular hands-on tutorials on the art of weathering. In this
Right Track presentation he explains step by step how he goes
about weathering models, from basic airbrushing to the final
titillation with paint and weathering powders. He shows models
in a variety of conditions, from a gleaming ‘Britannia’
to an utterly filthy WD – all of them based as closely
as possible on prototype observation and archive photographs.
If ever you’ve wondered how to add that final touch
of realism to your models, this DVD will show you how . .
