Railway weathering guides
‘King’ for Another Day
Everyday Swindon steam in the 1960s wasn’t as glossy and highly polished as the locomotives seen on heritage railways and enthusiast specials might suggest. TIM SHACKLETON fettles a ‘King’ into typical last-days condition.
Broad-Brush Approach
Giving models a realistic appearance doesn’t have to take long. TIM SHACKLETON shows how a ‘big picture’ approach using large brushes can create a lifelike look in minutes.
LESS IS MORE
TIM SHACKLETON takes a scaled-down approach to giving ‘N’ gauge models a life-like finish.
WORKBENCH: Tyne Dock steam finale
The Tyne Dock-Consett iron ore circuit has always fascinated modellers. TIM SHACKLETON blends consistency and variety within a nine-wagon rake of KR Models iron-ore hoppers.
