Cheers Wouter - it didn't really turn out like I envisaged as it got left too long
Mick - thank you. It took quite a bit of rebuilding - the original build got up to 260+ photos
Si - thanks. 'best yet' and I wasn't really happy with it
The AK stuff works but don't leave it more than a day as it gets hard to remove the paint. Best would be to do all spraying in the morning and then spend the afternoon with a cocktail stick pulling bits off again
Ian - thank you for another positive vote
I am never right sure about my painting 'skills' or lack thereof
Peter - didn't turn out like the 1:1 reference but I decided to do a little more work on it
Jim - cheers
Mike - thanks
It got a black/dark brown water based oil wash into all the nooks and crannies
Then I dropped it when it fell off the stick it was mounted on - oops. Well it is a rather heavy chunk of resin
I expected that to be project terminated but miraculously it survived the 6" fall onto my paints and wooden board without a scratch!
So I went on to paint the tracks and tow rope with VJ track primer followed by a rust pigment/X20 wash
The exhausts got the same treatment plus a sprinkle with more pigment dust - they will need further work once dry to tone things down a bit
