Regunking the EANOS

While I was pottering away with the scenery on North Wattinger, someone posted a picture on Facebook or somewhere of a nicely weathered SBB EANOS wagon in HO scale, a bit like my pink Marklin Z one. 

So using his one for ideas, I dug mine out and added a little more rust and dust and grime on top of what was already there - looking back, I'm not sure I have ever posted anything about this wagon. 

Some ordinary thinned acrylic paint plus some rust and grime washes were used. It looks a bit overdone, stark and harsh in these closeup pics...


...but looks OK from the mandated viewing distance below (pic from the previous post on North Wattinger).


I didn't like the pink colour scheme originally and was going to repaint in grey, but the pink has grown on me as it is something a little different.

The load that came with this has always looked a little boring, even with some additions on top of the factory load, so I might make it carry logs one day.

Hi Darryl, really nice weathering there. Made me think of another source of inspiration, if you don't know him already check this polish guy - his thread on weathering and bashing is good.
