The painting of these two coal tubs was done with a large brush and involved lots of drybrushing and washes. I wanted a very worn old metal look. The wooden beams were painted with acrylics in a very similar manner to the earlier wooden wagons and the remains of a long forgotten load was done with fine cat litter and some weathering powders.
Prior to taking these photographs, I have varnished the tubs with Galleria matt varnish and added some streaks with gloss varnish. The final detail was to add some graphite (2B pencil) to the exposed edges, particularly the top edges of the tubs.
I still need to add couplings but for now the bulk of the work is finished.
