Hi Jan:

Great job sofar. I'm not sure I could do this. I'd probably have all the parts mixed up. I'm lucky I can build one at a time. Keep up the great work.

Karl ,did you find the photo's of your scratchbuilt Mooneys? I'm sure everyone would like to see them.

Hi Jan:

The diorama looks just great. Here's my Mooney's Plumbing. I used a structure off of the Franklin and South Manchester RR. It is scratch built.

Thanks Karl, lots of ideas for weathering and details there. The rock foundation is great as are the shingles, oh , and everything in between

Nicely build, Janbouli

To weather the roofs I used a product I have only just acquired, they are textured paints from Citadel from their Technical series. These are mainly used by Wargamers.


Main roof before weathering.


First a brush of Typhus Corrosion , I know , I don't really like the names of some of their paints , but that's what they are.


Then a dry brush of Agrellan Earth , I think the texture of the paints makes them look just a little different to what we are used to.


Same sequence for the H0 metal roof


And the N-scale roof. It's a lot smaller , and from close up shows less texture because I brushed off some of the texture that was to thick for scale.


Followed by Blackfire Earth


Then a sort of wash with the Nihilahk Oxide, I forgot to take a good photo , but if you look close you can see it on the left N-scale structure, the tarpaper roof I finished with a dry brush of Nurgles Rot. I then glued on the dormers.

[Janbouli]

While I waited for the dormers to set I went on with the water tanks. Painted a piece of black paper backed with transfer tape Tamiya Gun Metal


Cut 1mm strips from that.


And installed them to the H0 water tank. This didn't work out for the N-scale tank, more on that later.

A nice job Jan. I built this kit a few years ago. It is a nice little structure and I think it is one of BM's best.
Keep up the good work.
