Paint and varnish not cured so it is getting marked very easily so propose to leave for a minimum of 24, ideally 48 hrs (if I can!!!) to fully cure. I shall get on with the Toad next as this will have more than one job to do, then the chemical tank wagon..... Decided to paint the pump Vallejo Black/Grey but with some oily steel added to give it a metallic feel...seems to have worked then over painted with graphite in a water mix and when dry buffed with a stiff brush... I feel that WKTs may be growing in far flung corners of the GWR. Stunning modelling, thank you @KNP and @MrWolf for more inspiration. Something else added to the pile and an increase in the value of second hand tenders. Rodger Edited February 19 by kingmender Typo! 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance if you’ve been trying all those flat caps on. Brian 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KNP Posted February 20 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 20 Just standing in the lane chatting to the doctor when I spied the Pannier coming to a halt for the signal. So quick as a flash I whipped out my box Brownie and took a snap... Then back at the dark room I messed about with some chemicals.... 38 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliff park Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 The funny thing is that the pioneers of photography would have given their eye teeth for the high definition and colour that we take for granted, and then we spend our time trying to make our pictures look like theirs. 4 2 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
