Mr. Tree Man Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 That's a clever way of doing wild flowers and not one I would have thought of! The 08s look great, I particularly like the first one with the faded paint on the hood and rods. The burnt out brake van is a neat little oddity (February 25th post), was it built using a modified kit or altered from a ready to run example? Looking forward to seeing more and great to know you are sharing your skills with the newer members of your group. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been meaning to ask where you get your paint from? Kit Stop in Birkenhead don’t sell a lot of Model Railway stuff but the guy does seem to know paint whenever I’ve been in for some bits. Just wondered: my buildings are only lightly weathered, but I could do with a bigger selection of weathering colours to use. Thanks, Keith. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
