No much happening on the loco side recently. I've decided that its high time that my n.g. 48DS was finished so its been in the paint shop (spray booth in the spare bedroom...). After priming (etch first followed by car acrylic, both from aerosols) the bufferbeams were sprayed with Humbrol Signal Red. Then the main bodywork was sprayed in Revel Aqua-Color Bronze Green before the roof was sprayed with Phoenix-Precision Dirty Black. All the paint so far has been acrylic thinned with de-ionised water and sprayed at 20psi through a Badger 150.

A pic;

The frames have been brush painted to save a lot of awkward masking...

The next job is to apply a coat of satin varnish, Phoenix-Precision ready thinned in this case.

I have these to fit as well...

...which came from Judith Edge's stand at an exhibition last year.

This one I started over 15 years ago but put it to one side after a painting disaster;

Its a Nonneminstre Models Sentinal, running on a Spud. As you can see I've stripped the old finish off ready for fettling and priming sometime this year. I'm not looking forward to glazing it...
