No photos tonight, batteries for the camera are being recharged. So it'll be a brief update.

 

Rebuilt West Country 34001 Exeter is well on it's way to be truely filthy.

 

A re-gluing of an errant grill turned into a weathering job of sorts on my sole class 31 it's now a slightly weathered shade of Brunswick Green! :D It's also given me a chance to try out a different brand of aerosol Varnish, I'm really, really impressed with this stuff. I've used railmatch for quite sometime and usually had good results after a number of coats. I'm using Vallejo, it doesn't need as many coats and gives a very smooth finish and as it's Acrylic it dries a lot faster too (may be a problem when it's warmer).

 

The lining and late crest are done on oneside of the 5,250gl tender. I've just given it a quick flash over with Vallejo Satin Varnish to protect the lining when I do the otherside ;)

 

Hopefully I'll do an update tommorrow, with some photo's. Now where did I put that sonic screwdriver?

That's the beauty of using Acrylic varnish over enamel, hardens in a fraction of the time ;)

 

Yes I spotted that one, it's got the correct facing one on the side that's completely lined the otherside will be done tomorrow all being well.
