The Vinyl solution

I bought a 7mm G5 that had no lining and poor transfers, so using my loco profiles computer images I thought that I would create a set of vinyls for it, as my local printer can now print sticky backed vinyls that will be able to take spray varnish.

They will need to be fudged in a bit and the loco weatherd to disguise the printed matter, but thought it hadn't turned out too badly.

I have also done a set for my Stroudley liveried Terrier, but not stuck them on yet as that will take a lot more effort.

Pic show the loco before any disguising work has been done, but is a bit grainy due to no real daylight today in Sussex.

The footplate lining will be done with the next printing

What an interesting way of tackling the lining, Matthew.

 

When that old stranger the sun puts his hat on Sussex again, would you post up a few more photos please?

Hope you've got your camera today Matthew... might be a good, if not the only, opportunity. It does look good... and the OO terrier did too. As you say, a little blending will bring that in a treat.
