RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted June 15, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 15, 2010 Looks like you've produced a plausible silk purse out of a sow's ear here. Skills & patience in great evidence! Hope the client appreciates your commitment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope the client appreciates your commitment! I second that comment, I still have some unfinished kits that got the better of me hidden away in a cupboard gathering dust.

mozzer models Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Well the bogie were built up today & the body was given a coat of satin varnish which seams to have gone a bit glossy on friday i will be fitting the glazing once the varnish has had 48 hours to harden off plus painting the buffer beam black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ressaldar Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I find that adding half a dozen drops of Railmatch coal black or weathered black to their varnish, tones the gloss down to a 'working' finish. regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alcazar Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 That's weird...........I'm sure the first time I looked, it was a Britannia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ressaldar Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 nearly right Alcazar, it was a Clan, but the 'toned down' effect was not quite as good as on the Duchess - should have previewed before posting Blink and you miss it. regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallows Close Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I find that adding half a dozen drops of Railmatch coal black or weathered black to their varnish, tones the gloss down to a 'working' finish. Nice tip - thanks. Bet you were sweating the first time you did that! Cheers, Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
