Foster Street - Time to Splash a bit of paint around.
Is it just me or am I the only one who seems to just take on another project on a seemingly endless list, rather than finishing some of the on going ones.
Today I actually got the seal of approval from the Domestic Overlord to do this project, as I must have been looking underemployed, so I was actually told to take the paint from the kitchen and use it for what it was bought for.
(which is strange as normally I'm told to keep away from painting, as I can walk past B&Q and get covered in paint).
So following the latest edict I started a new project, I decided to repaint my representation of a Johnson 1P into what I think is a more suitable crimson livery, rather than the black she has been wearing for a couple if years. I also decided to run a couple more of the locomotive projects I have been working through the paint shop at the same time.
So after what seemed to be endless, filing/sanding has ended for these locomotives, as they got a lovely coat of grey undercoat.
Two things though have hit me,
Number 1, the reason I painted the Johnson 1P black originally was to avoid all the lining required if it was in Crimson, and I may have 3 loco's to line now.
Number 2, when the Domestic Overlord told me to do some painting, I think they meant painting with the tubs of emulsion stored in the kitchen, which just happened to be the same place my crimson spray paint was stored.
Whoops, hopefully I will be able to post an update on the progress of the locomotives, once the injuries have healed, until the as ever Happy Modelling
