Mission Accomplished....

It's finished at last!!!

 

Well the 5,250gl tender destined for for Matt's (Bluebell Railway's) OO version of 34059 Sir Archibald Sinclair is at least. After a slight technical issue, Vallejo's Satin Varnish is glossy compared to Railmatch's. After giving the sides a light rub down with 1200 grit wet and dry, I've oversprayed with Railmatch Satin Varnish. ;) Still after that I've ordered some Vallejo Matt Varnish as I have an interesting idea.... ;)

 

Here is the aforementioned 5,250gl tender in all it's glory basking in the sunshine...

Also basking in the sunshine, before she goes back into the paintshop to have her final coats of varnish and to be coaled up, is rebuilt West Country 34001 Exeter

Thanks

 

I was debating what to do as I'm always nervous about rubbing things down once I've lined them. So I had to let the varnish completely harden before I attempted it.

 

I'll PM you shortly ;)
