WOW !!!!

that looks the business

Looks fab as ever Dominic. I managed to finish mine last night. Just out of interest, how did you manage to keep the roof grill intact? I stripped mine completely. Which base model have you used and how have you got rid of the details so they don't show up once the loco is resprayed?

Cheers,

Andi.

Andi,

I was contacted on Monday from one of the gang who operate Widnes Vine Yard and asked if I could have this ready for Thurs (big ask!), had huge problems sourcing a new Hornby donor, so got a mint condition 2nd hand Lima one.

I didn't want to lose the roof grill and decided to keep the warning panel yellow to save time, so masked these off. I rubbed down all the lettering/logos and numbersets with some wet and dry to get a smooth finish, then primed with the usual Halfords grey - result as good as a dip in the Supastrip.

John's decal were excellent, however I think for the 2nd one I'm doing I'd spray the silver strip with Aeromaster's silver, as I think you've done.

Thanks guys!

Dominic,

Good work! I used DB grey for my stripe. I know its not reflective, but I decided it would look better like that. Having considered it further, I'm going to use DB grey with a dash of silver!

Cheers,

Andi.
