Flood Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Hopefully my Dad's loco is close to being next in line. Please post some pictures on here when it is done, I think that you deserve to get considerably more 4mm business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

warren haywood Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 And finally a pair of fantastic Ivatt GNR 0-6-0 locos in 4mm scale built by Geoff Tiffany 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAD Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I visited Warren the other day and he showed me some examples going through his paint shop. Believe me, stunning as all the above photos are, they do not do full justice to his work compared to seeing them in the flesh. The superb flow out and smoothness of his paint finish is incredible and the consistency and fidelity of his lining with spring bow and ruling pen is breathtaking. Can't wait to see his work on my Duchess. Cheers, Peter 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium t-b-g Posted March 29, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 29, 2018 Lovely work. I wish I could afford to pay somebody to paint my locos to that standard but even at Warren's very reasonable prices, it is out of my budget. The GCR types just make me drool! A friend of mine is in a position to be able to use the services of Mr Haywood and is getting a bit giddy at the prospect of seeing his Royal Scot when it comes back. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack P Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 That SECR D is amazing! The quality of your work is truly breathtaking. One could be convinced they were the real thing with the addition of a background. Glad I came across this thread. Looking forward to future updates!

jwealleans Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Was that black GCR 4-6-0 on display at S4N last year? If so it was breathtakingly good - every bit as good as the photo makes it look. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 More photos of the Johnson Single please! Full Midland livery beautifully executed is a joy to behold! Inspirational to say the least... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shez Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Fantastic work as usual. Could I ask what you used for the body colour for the NBR Intermediate? I really like the GC locos as well. My great uncle was the regular driver of Butler Henderson when it was allocated to Mexborough shed during WW2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the GC locos as well. My great uncle was the regular driver of Butler Henderson when it was allocated to Mexborough shed during WW2. It’s basically a 50/50 mix of deep bronze green and GWR chocolate brown. These two colours mixed together were identical to swatch li borrowed from Paul Moore which came via the NBR society.

sej Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Absolutely beautiful Single Warren! What paints do you use for the main colour and the lining? Cheers Simon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
warren haywood Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Absolutely beautiful Single Warren! What paints do you use for the main colour and the lining? Cheers Simon Hi Simon It’s cellulose matched to Precission Midland Chrimson Lake The lining is humbrol 69 with som red and a touch of green added to give darker yellow which I think sits well.

Portchullin Tatty Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 It’s cellulose matched to Precission Midland Chrimson Lake Hi Warren, Are you able to confirm what the paint mix colour code was please - your supplier will have needed to have determined this to mix it? As I suspect you are aware,there are various possible systems that they might have used; they might have either "RAL" in front of a number, "BS" in front of a number, simply a number or (and this is most likely) a mix of numbers and letters. I have reached the conclusion that Precision's crimson lake has darkened and have thus decided to procure my own and I also prefer cellulose paint so can get it in this format as a result. My problem is getting a match although red in reality is not a particularly colourfast colour, so it will have changed over time on the prototype.

My problem is getting a match although red in reality is not a particularly colourfast colour, so it will have changed over time on the prototype. Mark, unfortunately there is nothing in the RAL or British standard range that comes close to what is perceived as Midland/LMS red. You will need to take a swatch of your own colour to specialist car paint shop (not Halfords;-). They will have swatches of maroons and reds where you should be able to find one that’s close. A good paint mixer will be able to do this by sight although he may have a little gadget that can break down the colours used. I can’t give you a code as Ian Rathbone got mine for me as we have a customer who collects LMS vehicles and uses both of us to paint them and therefore we had to maintain continuity. I’ve recently bought some Precission gloss enamel for lining and touching in and don’t see that it’s gone dark although I can’t comment on the dull version if that’s what you use.

Rob Pulham Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 A couple of years ago I built a G5 for a client and it went off to Warren for painting and I didn't see it finished because it went off to the client straight after. Warren borrowed it for his stand at Leigh show last weekend so I in turn borrowed it for a photo session. Warren has done his usual top job of it and I hope the photos do it justice. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
