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

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
