E4 painted - and the trouble with blogs!
One of the things about keeping a blog is that it makes you photograph your models and one of the things about photographing your models is that every time you do you just can't avoid seeing the faults in the results - things that somehow the eye only picks up when blown up on the screen when you look at the photograph.
So, here is the current state of the E4. I had to go back once and clean off around the dome which I didn't really pick up until I took some pictures last night. Tonight I can see boiler isn't quite fitted properly and I've not put the valve cover in place.
Still, it is the right colour, not covered in the dreaded 'orange peel' and it runs smoothly. I had to attack the inside of the tender side-frames with insulation tape just to make sure the wheels didn't short on the frames.
I think locos always look a bit weird before you get the numbers and crests in place and a bit of light weathering will make a big difference.
