This is where I have got to so far. Been a bit of a pain, SWMBO is only working half days this month although it is nice we get more time together my work time is reduce.

 

I have discovered another more major problem I have no small BR totems for the Ivatt, so have ordered some from Fox. I am hoping these do not take more than 4 weeks to get here.

 

I have some LNER Fox transfers for the V3 I have never actually built enough north eastern to buy my usual HMRS ones.

 

A bit of a photo overload I am afraid. There is still a lot of tidying up to do, and a few bits I am unhappy with. The grey and cream look very white. I may have another look at it. The Ivatt is first up.

That's all for now. I am hoping to get the transfers and the varnish on the V3 next week. No work tomorrow off to the seaside for lunch. Then I think it is time to start reassembly of the Frames etc.

 

By the way who know what colours the inside of of the cabs? I am thinking black and cream waist height on the sides and front.

Lovely work.

 

Out of interest what do use for the lining out. Is it a bow pen?

 

Cheers,

Yes I use a pen. Just wish I was better at it.

better at it? I looked at the boiler and thought you were using transfers. I think you have done a pretty damn spiffy job

The boiler bands are easy they are Magic tape painted and lined whilst flat, cut into strips and added.
