There is nothing like a nice blog after a weekend of modelling! I have to say that I have not been able to get as much done as I had hoped but I have pushed on and got a few UFO's nearer to completion. Here are the results:

X3900 Inspection Car

I had not realised until about 2 weeks ago that the roof was painted a different colour to the rest of the body. This was due to the fact that there are not many images of this unit on the internet and those that are on the internet are usually of the lower body. Therefore I have worked on the roof in the last week. First of all I moved the roof vents around so that they are nearer to the look of the prototype. Then this morning I painted the roof grey. There was a little bleeding of the colour around the bulkhead lines but with a bit of touching up it is quite satisfactory.

And the first post of the driving end of the vehicle (it had been masked off for over a year!!!):

I have found some transfers for the white lines on the side of the vehicle and I might have a go at hand painting the whiskers at both ends.

DU65 Draisine

No work this week but a picture of the cream colour it has had applied to it. It will be masked properly and painted red when I can find the time to get all the airbrush gubbins out again!

X2400 & X2800

These have now both received a coat of primer. I have also ordered some buffers for these units as the ones I have are not the right shape and I need to find some oval ones. Luckily I have sourced some!

Here is an picture of X2400 which will be painted once the buffers are sorted:

Thanks for reading
