Very nice Gav. As I'm about to be come a Grampa for the first time, well worth watching. I think you'd get an even better result if you sprayed the vanish on. I use the Vallejo acrylic with a flow improver, can be used indoors without the annoying smells. If you're interested in the results I can send you some pics to your email, or you can ping me and ask. Liked the way your Thomas ran at Scale4.

Hi Mike! Always appreciate you commenting. :)

Well done on being Grandad. :) Must be a nice feeling. I'd like to.be one...not even a Dad yet though.

 

Truth be told I have been spray varnishing for years. It is only recently I have started to favour brushing it on thinned.

 

The reason being is the atmospheric conditions too often are either too cold or too damp and as a result it has (on NOT a few occasions) ruined the paint finish forcing me to repaint models and it is mightily frustrating. You get the white frosting effect.

 

Now in Summer this is rarely an issue but as this is the UK 90% of the time spraying is too risky.

 

I've had enough of it quite frankly!

 

....

 

You saw my Thomas at the S4 test track!?

 

Where were you?

Or has Captain Kernow uploaded a video or??

You were chatting to some of the Dorset group and I didn't like to intrude...Thomas was just rounding the far curve. By the time I'd lapped the show you'd disappeared.

Da Phuq!

You should have said hello to me. Always wanted to meet you. Wales is a long way for me to travel to a show to do so which is why I haven't yet! I was there for a good few hours after the test runs.

 

Oh. :(

Maybe there will be a next time.

I was only taking stills, rather than videos and I do have one semi-acceptable shot of 'Thomas', which means that it's slightly less blurred than the other one, but I don't know if I can upload photos on someone else's blog?
