i started to give it a oil filter.........burnt umber, raw umber and i decided to add a bit of viridian just to see what happened,.....the viridian was too much, it just bled everywhere as soon as the thinners touched it, ended up giving the whole thing a wash down with thinners to get rid of it all,..........did it all again with burnt umber, raw umber and ochre. still not happy with it, whats everyone else think?
next step is to let it all dry off for a few days then a dark wash
at least its not shiny any more lol

for me it works i do like it, the only thing that i would suggest is to chip away at all the sharp edges ,just some wear and tearand much better once toned down
If you don't mind a bit of a suggestion concerning your sleepers... the base colour is spot on, try dry brushing them with a flat earth colour or a lightish grey sleepers are made of oak and when oak becomes weathered it turns a greyish colour with lighter brown patches, hope you dont mind the suggestion.
tools and stuff added, did a dark wash to the nooks and crannies, another matt coat to seal, next is more weathering.....want to try some dirty streaks and add some dirt to the lower sides
