Love these video's, as someone returning to the hobby for the first time since childhood they are invaluable, please keep them coming no matter how basic or advanced they may be.

Wow.. I never even considered weathering a train.
This is great!

[Shane-Singleton]

That was very well done! She definitely looks the business now!

This video is a great help to me, as i am building my own layout with locos on it that i want to weather.

Thank you.

Nice tips. I recently was given some rust weathering powder so this is useful.

what a fantastic product, ive just been to my local model shop and purchased a few of these for my model trains, im looking forward to getting to grips with this system as the finish looks awsome.

I was doing this on Scalextric slot racing cars back in the 70’s using matt varnish and brown paint!

The scale model medic knows how to weather.

WHENS THE NEXT VIDEO ?? I JUST CANT WAIT!!

This depends on the finish you wish to achieve. you can apply Weathering Powders using Humbrol Enamel Thinners, however this wont give you the same effect.

I'll do this on a metal gauge-measuring item and a signal as soon as I get the varnishes and powders, and see if that works first, then I'll try my 8F loco. :)

[callumjones]

looks much better than standerd will this also work on other models like shunters

1 - 2 hours in total. But take your time and ensure all of the running gear is kept clean.

[GreyTheFloydianSergal]

Looks great but you should of used a dark grey colour on the grilles. That would make it look even better

[HumbrolPaints]

You could you DW40 to free up your wheels. Are the pickups clean and free of powder?

[EmmaInCandyland]

Can you mix weathering powder with acrylic to just give texture?

[randomkangarooe]

Could you use a satin vanish to fix down the weathering powders.

[colinlea]

Thanks, but how do you do this if you painted your kit model in humbrol acrylics first? I don't think you can paint enamels over the top???

Most Humbrol products can be found Worldwide. However we are unable to sell the Weathering Powders in the USA.
