Somerville Junction a kit from N-scale Architect

The rust on the tank looks very good.  There are 'accelerants' that will make oils dry faster.

Jan,

Great job so far. Looking good and I also like the rust effect.

Thanx  Bob , a fellow Dutch modeler told me of the accelerator as well, but it needs to be mixed with the oil before use.  Would the oil paint be tacky enough to do some powder work on it?

I've tried it once.  It speeds drying, but it's still a lot slower than acrylics!

Added concrete feet and did some more weathering with powders.


Unloading building and elevator.


The bin platform with foundation.


And walkway.

Wow.Wow.Wow. You really nailed the color and weathering. That's a beauty!

Thank you John, the color is Aged Concrete, I think the weathering with powders went well.

I did the black specks on the roofs by holding a black chalk about 10 inches above the model and just scraping some off with a hard brush, then I sprayed matt varnish on it to seal it.

The weathering really makes the details stand out.

Very nice.  The concrete looks great.

Jan,

Looks fantastic, the aged concrete looks like it should on an old coaling tower. Very natural looking to me1


Wonderful job!

Might want to add some 'soot' weathering by the coal chutes.  Otherwise, a very good job.  Large monolithic structures are hard to weather well.
