Nice job Graham, looks good.

Good job, but I would be afraid to do that to one of my models. You should bust a couple of those lights on that 825 for a real affect.

Thanks everyone. I don't mind ripping up a Norscot or First Gear model. They look much more realistic in the diorama lol.

Really looks good can you give any insight on how you do it? Thanks!

That explains most of it. I'm glad he took the time to write it out. I strip everything down. I also make my own washes by mixing up those little bottles of acrylics that come in every color with water. That's how I added the rock dust to the 330DL. I also have an earth tone pastel set (same as the micro mark one) that came from Hobby Lobby for $5.00. Washes bring out recessed areas, pastels get raised areas. Be prepared to buy a lot of supplies! And the rusting solution takes forever. Also add rustall to bare diecast.
