    Slaters plastikard do a sheet No 0436 £3.00 white. Just a bit smaller than A4. Easy cut. https://slatersplastikard.com/plastikard/embossed.php

    I think a wee bit of yellow in the second one might work for the C Class.

    The colour wheel is very useful. And the only way to get a colour you are happy with is to mix it. Unless there is a ready made paint colour that is just right.

    That looks great, well done. It is important to get all the corrections sorted out before release or you will hear a lot of criticism from across the water.
  5. popeye
    Yes, i think it will be 3 or 4. I will look at it in the daylight and see what it is like. I will mix some paint until it looks right.
  6. popeye
    that looks so good.

    I have done a quick test of Humbrol No2 & No3 on a coach. It's a bit rough but from left to right 1 No2 + yellow 2 No3 Brunswick 3 No2 + No3 4 No3 + yellow 5 No2 + No3 + yellow

    Thanks JHB, the coaches will be the same as the coach at the start of this page. Just waiting for the postman.

    Thanks, i have a tin of Humbrol gloss green No2 and i will put some yellow in it and that might be ok.
  10. popeye
    Thanks JHB, so it will be CIE green and eau de nil lining.
  11. popeye
    OK, so they were only green when they became CIE coaches.
  12. popeye
    Very good, thanks. So do you think the Bachmann green is too dark? I might try and mix my own and see.
  13. popeye
    I want to paint 2 coaches in CIE green. So i need to know is the dark green on the Murphy Models/Bachmann correct. Or should it be lighter like the coach in The quiet man film? The 2 pictures are here for you to see the difference.

    That colour looks good, try to vary the colour a bit so some are lighter and darker so they won't all look the same.

    OMG lovely and dirty.

    So sad. If IRM did A & C class loco's this would not be needed.

    Lovely work patrick. I would like to see how these were built.

    You are a real craftsman.

    I have put a bit of light & colour into the first picture of 171, it looked a bit dark. hope you don't mind.

    Beautiful wagon, good luck. It will be even better with some weathering. Now we will see what the BR modellers think.
  25. popeye
    Very nice. I would still run away.
