Schnellzuglokomotive BR 01 WIP

Marco Gallmann
Very interesting. Count me in.

Ferry Dierckxsens
Ah that's great. Count me in following this build.

Felix Kronlage
I have this in my stash as well, am actually thinking about making this my next project once the tug boat is finished.

Martin Oostrom
Okay, started this one. It seems I'm incapable of building two planes/cars/whatever in successive builds. I kinda need the change.
It goes together fairly easy. Tender was done in a couple of hours. How I'm going to paint it in two-tone livery? Not sure yet, lots of nooks and crannies.
The loc chassis was eay enough. The boiler is a two part piece. In my case with a small step: sanding. Some primer will reveal whether I left enough detail.

First ever train, by the way 😄

Ben M
Following...

Martin Oostrom
Welcome folks!
I really need to find some way to decently paint the bogey and chassis. Lots of intersecting parts.

Martin Oostrom
Glued what could be glued. Prepped all parts for primer.

Spanjaard
how did i miss this build before. but for sure your last update got my eye..... 🙂

Tom ...
I missed this too. Real shame about the damaged pieces. Looking forward to the rest of the build.

Spanjaard
wow, you are really trying new things here Martin. looking great

Martin Oostrom
What I did is this: I primed in three different shades of red/brown. I hope this looks a bit like rust. Then I did a dark wash in spots. I then stippled some rust coloured pigment on the still wet wash.
Next I will spray some pigment fixer. When that is dry, I'll spray some thin layers of paint. Afterwards scraping with a sponge/toothpick/whatever should give some exposure to the primer/pigment mix. Then a rust wash should give the impression of a hard-working, maintenance needing loc.
Will I be able to pull it off? Time will tell!

Spanjaard
i am sure you will. are you trying with chipping fluid of hairspray?

Tom Ballhoff
I'm in too Martin!

Martin Oostrom
Spanjaard, the pigment fixer should be enough….. But I will check this one again: scalemates.com/press/issue.php?id=229

Tom & Tom next to each other on the front row, could become confusing!

Tom ...
Not at all, I'm the real Tom... I think...

Martin Oostrom
My brother's named Tom as well 😉

Tom Ballhoff
Don't listen to him, of course. I'm the real Tom. Or not?

Martin Oostrom
Ah, the tale of two Toms.

Martin Oostrom
Wife and kids at the cinema, dad makes some progress on his toy 😉

Tom ...
Bah humbug, haven't been able to do anything for over a week now! Jealous.

Martin Oostrom
I know how you feel Tom. Been there, done that 🙁
Can't wait for a Rodney update Lode

Martin Oostrom
Started the decals. Some needed to go on very rusted places. Needs some touch up.

MAC FELSING
Looks great Martin. I liked the way the weathering/paint turned out.

Peter Hardy
I missed this and twenty six punch lines to feed Marty along the way. Sorry Martin, I have let you down!!! If you want to get rid of the plastic coal I can send you a real chunk. I spend most of my day on coal mines!

Martin Oostrom
I missed you to Pete! No apologies necessary among friends.
I'm afraid ithe coal would be out of scale 😉
About the colour though; painted black as it is and rub it with charcoal pigment and a 2b pencil for some shine? Or leave the pencil out?

Peter Hardy
Coal is very glossy but non reflective black in the gaps. I would try a black gloss and use a brush to deaden the gaps and joins between the lumps or even a very thin black wash. The dust on the metal bin surface will be a dark grey getting lighter as it thins.

Martin Oostrom
The dust should be easy enough with some carbon black pigments. I might have some dark grey as well.
The lumps are painted satin black right now. Getting the joins matt will be a handful. Will give it some thought once I had my first coffee of the day.
Thanks! 👍

Martin Oostrom
It might be a bit hard to get a fine thin line inbetween the lumps. They are very fine detailed. See pic 53. 🙁

Peter Hardy
Hmmm, I have a lump of coal in my front garden, (don't ask) I'll flick you a pic on Monday if you can hold off that long?

Treehugger
Maybe the pile of coal should be a little dusty? (Or, maybe the walls inside should be dusty perhaps I am thinking.)

Martin Oostrom
Hi Pete, just chugged along, thanks for the offer though.
Treehugger, I put on some Vallejo Carbon Black pigments and added some shine with a pencil.
As the decals were too bright in my opinion, I added some new pigments act as rust. Vallejo Fresh Rust is too pinkish, so I had to add a light rust wash from Ammo as well. The more shades of rust, the better?
The drive shafts are glued as well. All I want to do now is mist some grime over the lower half of the train to blend in all the colours.
As always, comments and tips are welcome!

MAC FELSING
It's looking really good.

Daniel Klink
Very realitic looking Martin👍 Great work mate 🙂

Tom ...
That looked like a lot of hard work but what a result! Bravo!

Martin Oostrom
She is done!
Will try to get some decent pictures tomorrow, when there is more light.

Peter Hardy
European winter light? Is there any?

Martin Oostrom
It is a bit grey outside these days 😉
Had to turn on the lights at 1400 today. I guess I'll have to set an alarm for the morning 😄

Spanjaard
very nice job Martin. i have never done rust myself. yours looks good!

MAC FELSING
Nicely done!!!

Martin Oostrom
Thank you gentlemen. Better pictures are to be found here: BauReihe 01 Completed | Album by Mahoo76 (1:87)

Spanjaard
truly amazing job. certainly going above and beyond my deal Martin. you should be proud of this one!

Martin Oostrom
Thanks Bunch Buddies. Now I'm working on my Tamiya Nissan, I realise what I liked on this build: No flash or mold lines. Who would have guessed a Revell kit could be better in that regard than a Tamiya?
