Inherited it? Their either taking the piss or have a couple of screws loose.

That coat of brown has made a huge difference Robbie.Nice base now for the weathering to be applied to.

I was never a big fan of the Super train livery,so when 071 got its facelift recently it never really done anything for me.But this I can't wait to see

What a great photo,never seen this when it was originally posted.Very strange to see one so clean!

That's a serious piece of engineering that most of us could only dream about producing.Really top class work

Everything just looks so realistic.No footage from Kirley Junction is ever too long.Id watch this layout all day

As said already its nothing a light coating of brown can't sort out.Nice work by the way they look very well.

Worth waiting for

Very nice Kieran

Hi Paul,welcome to the forum.You'll find some excellent information on here and there's always someone to help with answering any questions you have or at least pointing you in the right direction.Happy browsing!

Brilliant scenes as always Noel,the ballast's are looking right at home on Tara Junction.

Fabulous as always,love the weedsprayer

Very nice Kieran.Looks great with the container sitting on it.

Nice job richrua,looks great.

Very precise lines Noel.You'll be offering a respray service next at this rate

Love the ammonia wagons Dave they really do look well.Nice bit of space there also for the layout.

Very impressive work,that's going to look class when finished.

Taking shape nicely.Lovely work as always.

Had a very enjoyable day on the Marble Tribesman tour yesterday.Both loco's on duty looked and sounded great especially 088 on the return to Dublin from Kilkenny.

Fantastic as always Kieran.Love the first pic it looks so realistic.I never get bored looking thru this thread everything about this layout is top class.

PM sent.

Noel if it helps i used transfers which i got from Des and used them on my Mk2 egv which i had bought in supertrain livery they done the job fine.

Thanks guys. Here's a better pic in daylight. It was a relief when I pulled the masking off. Wasn't sure what to expect, but was anticipating the need for some touching up, but alas model masking tape seems to have good sealing properties. Used 2mm tape for the white strip as its closest to 6" scale height. Was careful to try and keep the airbrush perpendicular to the masking tape edges so as not to blow paint up and under. On 3rd and 4th coats I risked a little upward spray to get the underside of the window edges covered and underside of the roof drip rail, but thankfully the 1st and 2nd coats seemed to have created a nice little seal with the edge of the masking tape preventing bleed upwards.

 

 

If there is one thing I personally have had to learn more than anything else, it is 'patience'. All my life I used to run up and down stairs, across car parks and down corridores rushing to get things done. Not with model painting. I'm dying to pop this on the layout, but will have to wait for weathering and varnishing, new wheels, and passengers.

Its a great feeling when you pull the tape back and realise there's been no paint bleed,very satisfying.

Lovely paint job Noel,very crisp.
