I find that I use my airbrush for most of my weathering. Instead of using chalk or pastels, I use women's eye shadow makeup I get for $1.00 at the dollar store. It comes in every color under the sun and sticks better than any weathering powders you could ever hope to use. Cheers from eastern TN
You might consider leaving the paint to be used on a piece of cardboard for a few hours. This way the linseed oil will be absorbed. Otherwise the paint will take forever to cure once applied. For streaks a Princeton 3/4 "Grainer" brush might be a more reliable option. Nice effect in the end.
Thank you. I’ll take a look at the brush. I think that the Artisan range may have less linseed oils as it’s also water washable. However I’ve never had an issue with curing. But I’ve seen lots of modellers leave oil paints on cars to leach out the linseed. Good points. Much appreciated
Wow what a fantastic result it turned out looking fantastic! Dry brushing also works basically all you need to do is make a faded down version of the paint colour that is on the loco. So if the loco is painted in BR blue you just need to make a paint mix of a faded down BR blue and dry brush that on. Hope that is useful.- Nicholas.
I didn’t actually realise until I’d almost finished recording that I hadn’t used the airbrush 😁. Hope to do more with just brushes as they’re always well received
@@BuntersYard that would be great the brush techniques are something I may try in the future, develop them skills before getting into airbrushing it’s a bit daunting starting it though may try old wagons before touching a loco
Hi I've just came across this video I'm currently trying to work out the best way to fade red/grey on a plank wagon. Don't have oil paints just acrylic/enamel and pigments. Any tips would be great the wagon in question is a N gauge obb in rail freight livery.
Looks great ,with autumn coming up leaf fall season ,how about the weathering those locos get on the sandite train they are almost brown ,superb as always it’s toned hornbys rendition of GBrf blue too 👍🏻😊
I'm not a model railway builder but, I've used similar methods on 1/72 aircraft like the PBY Catalina and Lancaster to achieve a faded, patchy black finish. Works very well though I used a pale grey instead of white. I don't have an airbrush either
another quality video and I have used this in reverse to correct the shade of yellow on dapol IOA wagons which is far too bright as in real life they are a much darker shade of yellow !
Generally streaking would indeed be in a downwards direction, as per gravity. Sometimes (because of details in the model) up is the only way, as long as its vertical strokes. And oil is best for streaking as i can be shaped and softened
Rarely do I use my air brush, I find that it's better to not use it at all and stick to brush, sponge, washes and powders - you just don't get the texture from an air brush that you do with the other methods. By the by, did you weather the frame and bogies later? And did you use the same techniques here? Cheers 🙂👍
Yes, i normally use white, but you could use lighter shades of the colour that you're trying to fade. Lots of the fading that happens is where the top surface of the paint turns into a white powder, such as on old red cars and vans. And they will look pink. Thanks for the comment
Really like the video just being stupid I'm guess this technique can be used on coaches and wagons as well, as I'm looking to fade down EX-SR BR mk1 coaches around Swanage railway.
Great video. Really want to try this technique one day. Very effective. But who the heck felt the need to thumbs down without a comment as too why? Come back you coward; I'll bite your kneecaps!

Knoxville?
Just amazing
Brilliant bit of weathering. I never thought to use oils. Must give it a go. Thanks!
Thank you. Oils are a good one to keep in the armoury. Some nice uses and effect’s

Perfect, I didn't think about oil paint, great idea. Thank you
You’re welcome. Hope it comes in useful. Thanks for watching
Nice job mate, great effects!
Thank you. Glad you like it
Looks great and good to see it being done without an airbrush 🙂👍🏻

Brilliant video and so realistic, interesting and a great way to chill out!🙂👍
Thank you so much 😀
Bloody fantastic love it
I still haven’t finished that one! I only did a part to show the technique. I’ll have to get on with it 🥴
@@BuntersYard cant wait to see it when you do mate will look even more amazing😚

Great idea. I’ll check it out. Thank you
I have faded a 47 using this technique & want to seal the finish,What can i use over oil paint ?
Nice update today.Hope there more.
More to come!
@@BuntersYard Hi if you get time Have a look at my channel.See what you think.Thanks for your support and time.
great work mate
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks that looks fantastic! Great tutorial 👍
Thanks Darrell. Glad you enjoyed it

Yes, i've used black on the other GBRf class 20. It was a little too vivid out of the box
Enjoyed watchi the video, was that done over the factory finish or did you coat the model in Matt varnish first?
The streaking technique down-to-up is the opposite of what we've been taught! It definitely works. Is it because it's oil?
Generally streaking would indeed be in a downwards direction, as per gravity. Sometimes (because of details in the model) up is the only way, as long as its vertical strokes. And oil is best for streaking as i can be shaped and softened
I skip the dabbing, just dry brush with the big brush: light bit of paint on the big brush and brush on scrap paper till it is suitably light.
Rarely do I use my air brush, I find that it's better to not use it at all and stick to brush, sponge, washes and powders - you just don't get the texture from an air brush that you do with the other methods.
By the by, did you weather the frame and bogies later? And did you use the same techniques here?
Cheers 🙂👍
I just used powders on the parts of the frame that you can see. I’ll do them properly, along with the bogies, another day
@@BuntersYard look forward to it mate :)
Can you do allso an how to dowith acrylic paint ?
Yes thank you. I'll add this to the list
There is a problem. It takes a long time for oil paint to dry directly without mixing linseed oil. Do you have any solution for that?
I don’t tend to allow the 24 hrs that most people suggest. I’ve lacquered over the oil layer within a few hours and had no problems
Do you always use white to fade your cars? Won't red turn a pink?
Yes, i normally use white, but you could use lighter shades of the colour that you're trying to fade. Lots of the fading that happens is where the top surface of the paint turns into a white powder, such as on old red cars and vans. And they will look pink. Thanks for the comment

Absolutely. I’ve used it on locos, coaches and wagons too
I think I take that up as I don't have an airbrush
Great video. Really want to try this technique one day. Very effective.
But who the heck felt the need to thumbs down without a comment as too why? Come back you coward; I'll bite your kneecaps!
Thanks dibley. And don’t worry too much about the thumbs down, you can’t please them all 🥴👍🏼
man, the audio is loooooo
Yes apologies. We're working on it.............
