Day 45: slow progress

I finally plucked up the courage to paint the footplate and other black sections of this loco by hand - it's come out alright, I suppose. I had to go back over some of the lower frames to cover up the overpainting, but hopefully that will hide behind some weathering later on. It'll probably be another couple of weeks before I can face doing that!

 

I need to pick an appropriate colour for the dumb buffers too - any suggestions?

I went with a grubby brown to make them look dirty for my Peckett, specifically sleeper grime, but I could be way off to be fair

Matt black/brown with a dab of shiny black in the centre to look like grease 

 

I'll dig out the darkest brown I've got then!
