Title: The Ultimate Weathering Studio
Post by: 1936ace on March 27, 2014, 05:53:45 AM
Hi all
As always I travel to work on the XPT to Sydney. As I usually have my own cabin I thought what better a spot to do some weathering in a XPT. Comes complete with portably swing away workbench, plenty of lighting very comfy seating and lots of floor space for the boxes or materials and stock to be worked on plus I have my own ensuite.
And the trip up to buffet for a cuppa is a short distance
I don't think I could get a more railway theme studio then this

Could you not just dangle them out the window? Let the train, take the strain?  :D

Don't they object to you using an airbrush?  :D

Cant do the window weathering idea all the windows are sealed. :doh:

I just dry brush and washes no airbrush im not that good yet to try an airbrush still learning!

And anyway i have my own cabin reserved each trip. Plenty of peace and as i know all the crews they always pop in and see what im up to over a cuppa

Your own cabin?!  :goggleeyes: That's the equivalent in the UK of hiring the Royal Train. It's the only way you'd get a private journey here...
