Not immediately connected with railways but I've had a painting lesson today, where I have learnt of amazing things like acrylic paint, drybrushing and sepia dyes . I think that I've been converted from enamal. It only took me 2 hours from a palin black lump of plastic to a multi colour dwarf, the Discworld figures are not as well painted and took me a far longer time. The Dwarf is not for any railway, althoug I;m thinking of one for him! Bear in mind that the photos are about 3 times larger than the Dwarf, I never spotted the black spot on his eyebrow.
