Andrew P Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 I have a small roller tester paint in grey, the same as I've done the Yard with, and as I'd sprayed the second Portacabin Red / Brown, I thought I'd try going over it with the roller to see how it would come out, and here is the result. The original one was moved to the Fuelling Point area, and now I need to build a Bund for the Tank to sit in / on and add some pipework. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's turned out quicker, considering the number of re starts I had at first, and better than expected.. Not for sale and Andy Peters do not seem to go together very well. Surely there is a mistake? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously Guys, anyone would think I had a reputation for building Layouts and then getting borde and selling them on. It's taken me since the 14th November to build this, so having invested so much blood, sweat and money into it, I need to get some use out of it first, haha. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The poor blighters cannot afford a new car they are still paying off their loans for their old ones, you know those loans that earned the car salesman a good commission, so he could retire and build train sets. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted December 19, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 19, 2019 Confused from the middle of nowhere Lincolnshire here. The reason I am confused Mr Peters is you have used nice and 33 in the same sentence, surely this is an accidental mistake. 2 hours ago, Andrew P said: O.K. SO, A parcel or two arrived this morning.

Mulgabill Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Almost as bad ....... it could have been one of them 31s Clive has aa soft spot for. 33s were a big improvement on the Cardiff = Portsmouths, but not a refined as the Hymeks that preceded them both.
