Sorry, I've been really busy at the moment and even now, I'm readying myself for a three night comedy show. I'll blatently plug it too. http://www.facebook....57209164384831/

Anway back on topic.

This was my most recent commission for a friend of mine. It was an unpainted Dapol conflat which he wanted to be a match truck for a class 03 he bought from Bachmann. You know the nice faded blue one. He basically said "Go to town with it" so I did.

I added vac pipes and air brake pipes made from guitar strig and brass wire respectively. I also scratchbuilt some chocks which, though inaccurate once I had done my post updatre research!, look okay and give the model a bit more life.

The weathering is pretty much as standard... however the model was primered white and given a coat around the edges of that new humbrol rail colour stuff which worked quite well to be honest This was followed by humbrol black which was hand painted on. I didn't know if anybody would do transfers and I wasn't brave enough anyway and the initial idea of taping the sides didn't go too well so basically the black marks were marked up with pencil and I went straight to it with only those for guidance!.

Finally along with the chock I added some spare bits from the loco iron irons pack from springside and some lamps from said manufacturer.

Anway enjoy
