Then, a "horizontal"..... quick spray of Acrylic Grey"


Followed by a "dabbing" (not brushing) of light wood colouring, then wait for the reaction to take place......Astounding!

I must try it sometime, the reaction takes place because of different materials it seems. Something like this may work for a "weathered concrete" effect. Look out for the programme and experiment!

I would never have thought about the process that he had discovered in a million years.....

Will give it a try what type of paint is the wood colours - - I can't get any discovery channels as we only have Freesat (and we are away in our Caravan until the weekend)

Took time to see the tanks at North Walsham but from the road could only see the loco
