Initial painting of the figures. They were given an overall spray of khaki and then details were painted using the end of a cocktail stick - even the finest brush is too coarse. Once the paint has dried overnight, shadows and highlights will be picked out using a dark wash - sparingly applied. Cheers Darius

Tarpaulins fitted to wagons. Cheers Darius

Hi DJ it was an ill-fated attempt to combine road and rail freight in the UK in the early 1960s. Containerisation was the way forward. https://cutt.ly/S6woJzq Cheers Darius

Completed Cheers Darius

Two more 3D printed JGA cement wagons on the bench The yellow and green “Tarmac” colours are brush painted Phoenix Precision enamels. I had considered airbrushing but the overspray masking was too complicated. Masking for brush painting was much simpler. Cheers Darius

Two more with the scratch built wheel assemblies completed - brings the rake to 15. One more bagged kit to assemble. Cheers Darius
-
Scratch built undergibbons. Less detailed than the kit part but should not be too apparent once painted black. Cheers Darius
