RMweb Premium MrSimon Posted January 26, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 26, 2017 Am I too late to talk about card? I used wood stain and slightly thinned emulsion on my tram as a base. It is sand-able and drill-able and the coats on top of the base came out really well - you wouldn't know it was card. Hope that helps Simon 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano747 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Looks excellent George!! (As I mentioned to you, the transfers were just going to sit in a drawer till they rotted, so I'm glad they have found a good home!) Regards, Deano. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeT Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 (edited) Been very busy today with finishing off my 24ton brake van which meant putting in glazing all round, makes a big difference, also the Adams G6 is now finished, and runs nicely, really looks at home with the brake van......
