Its been a while since I posted - not that I have been idle. Gareth, following his move back to the USA, has now been supplanted by Ray Hodson as the person voted by me as most likely to be blamed, although in the spirit of fairness and because we live in an inclusive world I do not intend to let Gareth's retreat across the Atlantic to get in the way of the blame game when the opportunity arises.

 

Anyway, Ray. Ray volunteered me to demonstrate at this coming weekend's EXPO EM, doing modifying plastic rolling stock kits and giving a lecture! He has also been steadily adding to the projects on my workbench (or at least the storage shelves close by) forcing me by various nefarious means into DOING P4! I know....shock or what?

 

However, I have managed to complete a few projects and other have moved along so more posts may follow in the coming weeks. For now here is a GWR Iron cattle van (Ratio and Shire Scenes) - pictured on Hope Under Dinmore.

And here is a Z1 Gunpowder Van (and I'm not too happy with the GPV transfer but will have to live with it for now)

Hope to see you at EXPO EM, do come and say hello, especially if you want a closer look at the above!

Have you tried Micro Sol on the transfer? That may help. Walthers Solvaset is even stronger, but I don't know if it's available in the UK. It may be worth looking out for.

I have been having sagas with transfers lately. I normally use press fix whenever possible but have been having trouble persuading them to stick to the red body colour when using carrs transfix, even on a layer of johnsons gloss clear. Had even more problems when using the Fox's gpv transfers and ended up only using water. Will try microsol but as it's had a light varnish I'm not hopeful.

Incidentally, I have no idea why the pic of the cattle wagon is upside down. The original isn't!

It probably won't work if it's already been vanished. Too bad.

 

The cattle wagon is right side up on my computer and upside down on my phone.
