Another beautiful job Pete, the mention of the black tinted varnish is interesting. Do you buy it tinted or do it yourself with black paint? If so what proportion roughly?

Lovely piece of modelling Pete.

 

Looks superb and look forwards to the Dukedog rebuild.

 

Cheers,

 

Mark

Thanks Mark

The I have to study the Dukedog, most of the loco is done but there are a few gaps between parts so may need to be stripped down.

Looks great Pete, a really purposeful looking beast! I think responses always tail off in the summer, people are hopefully outside enjoying the sunshine! Looking forward to the next build :-) Dave

Thanks Dave

You may be partly right, but to me the views etc seem to of been reducing over the last year. Unless my modelling is going down hill.

I mix the varnish myself. I use what is on the stirring stick after mixing a new 14ml tinlet to a 14ml tinlet of varnish. That is about as accurate as it gets. It works well on darker colours to tone it all down a bit. I have heard of people using browns for lighter co;ours but I have never used so cannot say if it works. I would of thought a bit of body colour would of been better.

Thanks Chris

Hopefully you will see it soon.
