There it is!
I completed J39! Fully tendered, weathered, watered and crewed!
The fire irons are from Springside and coal lovelingly given from City of Truro (omg not a western engine!) and the foremans coat was made in the same way as the weather sheet (some greaseproof tissue paper, crumpled three times and soaked in water/pva for a day.
Weathered was achieved via the same methods as perviously mentioned.
The weather sheet above the cab was initally painted Tamiya nato black then some dry brushing of humbrol matt black and metalcote gunmetal helped to add depth.
The fireman and driver are now in position. The driver keeps control of the loco, hoping the fireman closes the cab door, looks on as the fireman has removed his coat whilst he prepares to readjust his gloves.
The crew were primed with halfords and painted with some cheap acrylic paints obtained from The Works (or any good art shop)
"CLOSE THAT ******* DOOR!" He impatiently reacts.
Hopefully, you'll be able to see this loco on our exhitibtion layout "Hartburn Junction" in 2014
