The Corvette engine looks very convincing!

Cheers,

David

Thanks David working on the chassis now


The Rudd is assembled


No couplings are provided (or decals) leaving it to the modeller the fit the ones of their choice (when sourced)

Nice Rudd Ratch! Why on earth B.R. used fish names for their rolling stock I'll never know....!!

Well there were Sea Lions and Walrus too
This is all hand painted - I was going to spray but the masking was a nightmare

This is where I am with the Corvette

Well tidy wagon Ratch,nice to see rolling stock on this forum.
Regards
Ken.

Excellent work going on here, Ratch. I also like to see a bit of rolling stock.

Thank-you both Ken and Shaun

I am waiting to see what colour you do the Corvette... whether it will it be a little red one?

It's Gold

Multi-effect gold

Sorry .... I mistook that image

No worries Chris
Moving along, as you do


Weathering has started

Excellent rusting! What did you use?

Yes, do tell

Cheers lads - variety is the spice of life
Humbrol Powders AV0003 Sand, AV0006 Iron Oxide, AV0007 Dark Earth & AV0008 Rust with
Mig Pigments P025 Standard Rust, P028 Europe Dust, P033 Dark Mud, Old Rust, P232 Dry Mud & P234 Rubbed Dust
I will probably add Humbrol Enamel Wash AV205 Dark Brown, AV207 Sand, AV208 Dust & AV210 Rust, maybe with more powders
Its all applied very haphazardly. I dip my brush in white spirit and dab on the model, then pick up a little powder with the brush and stipple in various places, and repeat with another powder and so on, streaking on the vertical surfaces. I found pictures of heavily rusted Rudd on the www and I'm looking for a similar appearance
