Boots, many thanks indeed ole chap ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Nice piccy you found there too, hope Ian isn't offended with me doing a train thingy ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . Jeff, thank you for the AB compliment fella ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . Pete, very kind of thee sire ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Guy, dank je vriendelijk buurman ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . Ian, welcome and cheers fella. This is WW1 trench supply train, as Boots has very kindly shown us ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) They were built by the Simplex company : simplex.avlr.org.uk/Steve, well appreciated fella ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . Okay chaps, yesterday I started getting this thing dirtied and worn. First off a wash was added, Grey for Dunkel Gelb ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) , then I sealed that in with VMS gloss. I then did a pin wash around those feckin rivets, and some streaking around the vehicle. Scratches came next, with which I certainly ain't finished with yet. Also the exhaust got a rusting which might have gotten a tad out of hand ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . ![](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1959/46246091461_16e73b60cc_c.jpg) ![](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4902/32373627448_f6808b8245_c.jpg) ![](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4900/32373630748_375d9baeca_c.jpg) ![](https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1980/32373633228_bc86be2289_c.jpg) ![](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4866/32373635798_9ab0a67cea_c.jpg) I also picked up the track section at my LHS yesterday, this is now nailed to a base and primed ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . More on that side as and when ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) .

Boots, I guess that is what we call overkill ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . Guy, many thanks indeed fella ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . With this being such a feckin huge kit, the scratches are going to need some depth ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) . I have mixed up a lighter version of the base colour (glad I hadn't forgotten what it was ![8D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/insane.png) ) , and have started adding this to the bottom of the scratch ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . ![](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4878/45334405335_20945fb3aa_c.jpg) This is process is going to take a day or two ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

Jeff, a very wise decision you have made there fella ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) . Many thanks also Sir John, you may be a tad late but hey, welcome and thankyou kind sire ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . Carl, I do believe I learned most of this from a guy called Carl ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) . Many thanks indeed fella ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) . So today I blasted the train with VMS matt, then I added some Mig fresh engine oil around the hinges and engine starter. After that came dry brush with some lightened base coat green. The rivets I then picked out with an even lighter base coat green and she got a rub down with graphite powder (very lightly added to a soft cloth) . ![](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4890/45579640074_94628911b7_c.jpg) ![](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4821/45579640934_785dc9d7bc_c.jpg) ![](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4803/46252921962_62626132a7_c.jpg) ![](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4882/31364134967_853d85e4cd_c.jpg) ![](https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4881/31364136677_ca2c541436_c.jpg) So what do you lads think, does it need more or is this okay ![O_o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/browraise.png) ?
