Finally got some colour on the Karl. Gloss coated and decals done for one rail
car and lift beam.. Started weathering, a black wash on the tread plates and tried to depict a couple of leaking hydralic cylinders. Painted with MM acryl schwarzgrau
The hydraulic fluid leaks I used Polyscale oily black.





Weathering will be light. After a dullcoat, a dusting of powders and an earthy post shade on the railcar and maybe a lighter shade for the lift beam..
Comments welcomed.

Hi David,

Don't know anything about these beasts but look great so far. Massive kit, some building there.

The fuel leak looks good, I imagine that there would need to be a fair amount of wear around the wheels, couplings etc.

Thanks for posting - look forward to seeing the finished article.

Cheers

Al
