Well, I guess this is what you call finished. There's the odd blip, as usual, but I'm happy to call it done. Paint is Tamiya sky blue with a drop of white, and the yellow is Railmatch late warning panel yellow (I forget the years they print on it, 88-03?), with a gloss black underframe, all given a top coat of Railmatch satin varnish to tone down and bring it together. Detail painting is mostly Games Workshop acrylic, with MIG powders for the roof weathering. I prefer to do locos in grubby condition, partly because it helps to hide the mistakes, also because I find the weathering effects easier to get looking convincing. It was a bit touch and go with the clag dirt on the roof, but it's looking ok now, and will be staying as it is, in roughly this condition from early 2009. All it needs now is for me to crack on with some Murco tanks!
Needless to say, DB stablemate 60040 will be rather grubbier when I get around to modelling it. The transfers, nameplates and donor loco are waiting...
