Lugsdale Road - A little progress
Well I managed to get some paint out today, and not the stuff you put on house walls but the stuff you put on models, if the Domestic Overlord finds out I will be in for it, but for the moment I am a painting God.
I thought if I was lucky I might get the first coat of cream applied to the station buildings, if nothing else, and I actually achieved this and a little more besides. The process was helped by using acrylics, which still amaze me with how quick they dry.
At this rate I will be able to consider applying a coat of maroon as some point soon, and then I can start on producing the LNWR pattern windows and doors, which will take an age because there are quite a few needed. Getting ahead of myself I even managed to cut a little track for the actual railway, which is a shock as I may end up with a model railway that actually has a railway on it
While the paint was out I, the bank got a little attention, as I was not too happy with the original finish, I'm still not happy with it but its slowly getting there, and I suppose if worst comes to worst I can always cover it in a good coating of grot, is only to tone it down a little.
The biggest progress made though was the actual laying of some more of the Tram track along the street, and the test fitting of some cobbles for the road surface.
This has only been temporarily fitted as I'm still not sure if I want a coble finish or if I should go for an far easier tarmac/concrete finish. What is obvious though is the fact I have an awful lot to do, and this is just the first board. HELP
Until next time as ever Happy Modelling
