I think I may have started one of these before, but I can't find the original entry.  I've got a very healthy (or unhealthy depending on your viewpoint) pile of part made and unmade kits and projects which have been sitting around for the best part of a decade.

A visit to the Festival of railway modelling at Doncaster last month provided a much needed boots to the modelling motivation, so in recent weeks have cracked on with a couple of projects.

 

Firstly go round to painting the Chivers OTA kits which have been built for a while now.  Purchased the Ten Commandments loads at Doncaster.

 

Need to add transfers (now have I or haven't I bought them already - can't seem to find them in the drawer), then add loads, straps and a coat of matt varnish.

Next up is a 2 piece kit which I purchased from Shapeways back in 2018 according to my emails!  No longer available, but just required a clean up and then painting.  Used Halfords rattle can white primer, then masked of and hand painted the brown with humbrol matt enamel 186.

 

Needs a bit of touching up before I give it a coat of gloss and then apply the Railtec transfers I definitely have, followed by a coat of matt.

Well I thought I'd finished the PWA, but as I was fitting the excellent railtec transfers, using Humbrol DecalFix (which is a first for me and found it much easier), using the reference pictures on @hmrspaul superb site, I realised the underframe has plates over some of the gaps.  Just contemplating to try and use painted inkjet acetate sheets....

The bogies supplied seemed to be too narrow so have used English Steel ESC-1 from the N gauge society - which I don't think are 100% correct, but they'll do for me
