That was a half decent weekend. Being self-employed, I tend to work when the muse is upon me, and after a rocky week where my brain went on a go-slow I felt I needed to try and catch up.
So, what did I do. I brush-painted the roofs in a dark grey. It’s not as matt as I’d like, but a good basis for weathering and matt varnish later. The main interior parts were given a base coat of something sand coloured. I’m still poking around for good colour images to show the interior woodwork, but this is a good start.
The same sand colour went on the brake compartment details. I’ll leave these this base colour, and just varnish.
All three bodies got the sand treatment, too. I rather think I’ll get the interior colours done before painting the outsides. This is partly because blobbing paint through windows won’t matter so much, and it’s easier to handle things as they are at the moment. Although they’ll barely be seen, I will mark out where the door shuts go, and quite possibly paint the door insides a different colour. Photos seem to show dark stain or varnish on doors, particularly in the brake compartments.
So, now the brain cell's industrial inaction seems to have passed for now, I look forward to a productive week.
