Essential reference

A vast range of weathering techniques for rolling stock and locomotives is covered in George’s new book, Weathering for Railway Modellers (ISBN: 97817850 03301). Aimed at modellers of all abilities, scales and eras, our modelling guru guides you through every stage of the process. Fully illustrated and bursting with hints and tips, subjects include dry-brushing, pre-shading, paint chipping, distressing and creating realistic timber effects. George also shares his special techniques for reproducing faded liveries and that quintessential ‘polished’ look for steam traction. It’s available from bookstores, model shops and Amazon, or direct from Crowood Press. Tel: 01672 520320 Web: www.crowood.com
