RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted February 1, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 1, 2022 Printed off Royal Mail decals yesterday which were a failure as the background was far to light on the white paper. I’m going to try again with the colours beefed up and on clear paper to see if that is better. The finished Galant / Sigma. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second try printing the decals on clear paper wasn’t much better, so I’ve painted a yellow background for the decal to go on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the prettiest of things was it? Looks almost like a double decker bus that lost it's roof under a low bridge, and someone decided "lets not scrap it, we'll just put a new roof on at the window line of the top deck"...

RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted February 6, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 6, 2022 They aren’t the prettiest thing ever. It’ll stand out a bit as it was painted two tone blue. The plan is to make it out of two layers of 20 thou plasticard one will be more or less a box with apertures cut out for the windows, the outer will have the detail on it. In real life it’s mounted on a Bedford VAL coach chassis. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted February 8, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 8, 2022 I’m not going to put the trim lines in below the waist band, they would be hugely overscale and end up to close together. They have had various liveries over the years. I’m going to paint the ‘brick’ pale grey lower, light blue upper. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted February 11, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 11, 2022 The Thames TV brick has had its base coats of paint. Decals have been printed, just need sealing prior to attaching. The next stage will be to fit the windows and pick out the grills and indicators etc. 9 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted February 12, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 12, 2022 Engineering work meant that the ECML was shut between York and Newcastle! It’s a four track railway to Darlington…….but buses from York! Had an almost seamless journey from Haxby with the bus making a nice connection at York station. The exhibition was very very busy, shuttle bus from Doncaster station was once again a case of guess where it is, no signs. Coming home missed a train at Doncaster by a minute had an hour to wait then delayed waiting a platform at York with a XC and another LNER cruising past us. Due to the delay missed a bus home by seconds….hey ho. Anyway enough of my moans here’s some pictures. Bluebell Summit was excellent……..a bit like Ronnie Corbett……much smaller in real life than it looks on RMweb. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted February 13, 2022 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 13, 2022 It’s been too wet today to spray the decals outside and with the car in the garage that was out of bounds too. Hopefully they’ll get sprayed tomorrow so that they can be applied later in the day. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
