Hi Bob
Watch the cab, it isn’t high enough and needs about 2mm adding at the bottom. If you look at the close up of the cab you can make it out. Couldn’t see it until I took the picture but then that’s digital photography for you. The tender is ok but inside the coal space is not even close to fitting. I filled it with coal so problem solved. The other nasty area is the front footplate and the inside cylinder cover, plenty of gap filling there aswell. Like you say it’s not a bad result but getting there was frustrating.
Tim,
The paint i use is Clostermann cellulose, its hard wearing and very smooth, the black is particularly good. Its available from a company in Swindon called AP Western.
I mix it 1part paint to 2or3 parts thinners, which must be high gloss easyflow, this allows a slightly longer drying time (1 minute rather than a few seconds) so that the paint can settle out and stops a sandpaper finish.
I spray at about 15psi, a mist to start with then a heavy 'thug' spray, which takes practice but gives that wondorful smooth glossy finish which only celly does.
For the green i use BS 224 deep bronze green
The oxide can be any redish brown, i use RAL3009
Hope this helps
Warren
Peter,
You’re in Leeds aren’t you?
Your quite welcome to pop round (Ossett) and I will go through spraying with you. If you bring the Duchess you can do it here. I have loads of paint
