Calnefoxile Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I'm 2/3rds of the way through turning 2 x Farish MK1 coaches into a representation of a Blue/Grey 2-EPB, I'm using Adam Warrs Vinyl sides. Now I've just realised I've made a bit of a cock-up already!!! by painting the inner ends black when they should be Rail Blue. My next painting dilemma is, What colour is the roof??? I need to repaint the coaches as I've chopped them about a wee bit to fit the BHE ends. Here is a picture, so can anyone comment on the colour The underframes and cab ends are painted, just need to do the roof's before I balls them right up, by getting the Vinyl sides all wrong TIA Neal. P.S. I'll post pictures of my efforts so far, later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calnefoxile Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Right as promised, here are the photo's I just took of my 2-EPB dummy. Please be gentle with me, this is my first attempt at this type of thing. As I said in my OP, I just need to know what colour the roof should be and once thats painted I can then attempt to add the Vinyls, and we'll see how it comes out. Regards Neal.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted February 24, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 24, 2011 Colour looks ok, but needs to be very, very matte. Almost gravel-matt. There was never the remotest hint of a shine that I saw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobster Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hi Neal. I have in the past used Matt "Dark Sea Grey" then weathered - seems ok, but best to try first. Cheers. Bob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
