"Mavis purrs happily as she heads to Ffarquar Station, along Toby's Quarry Line, with her train of stone."
I remember how exited I was when Mavis came to the hobby shop! This was a picture I took for some clips of her on this section of the line, and below are some pics showing her weathered.
So for Mavis, I wanted to consider where she worked, at a quarry, which (surprise, surprise!) affects how she looks, as her paintwork has quarry dust, soot, oily patches, and rust. Here she will receive a "dusting" with dry-brush weatheringusing Plaid FolkArt and Apple Barrel acrylic paints, and maybe some powdered pastels scraped and gently brushed.
Here she is visiting the yards at Tidmoth, resting in the siding under spring sunshine. Looks much better on set with good weathering!
