    That's more like it.

    They are transfers. It is hard to judge the colour on a web page until you see them on the model against the green paint.

    Thanks, i thought they were a bit blue. I have to mix paint for the stripes and i will paint over the snails & numbers with the same colour.

    So, the story so far, i bought 2 coaches second hand Mainline LMS. I mixed up some green paint. 42 drops of Brunswick green No 3. And 2 drops of yellow. I think it looks close enough. I got some transfers from Railtec. I'm not sure if the colour of the snails & numbers is right. So i would like your opinions please.

    It will make a great paper weight.

    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.

    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.
  11. 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.
  15. popeye
    Thanks JHB, so it will be CIE green and eau de nil lining.
  16. popeye
    OK, so they were only green when they became CIE coaches.
  17. popeye
    Very good, thanks. So do you think the Bachmann green is too dark? I might try and mix my own and see.
  18. 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.
  19. popeye
    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.

    Welcome to the site. That's some hill, watch for falling rocks.
  21. popeye
    OMG lovely and dirty.
  22. popeye
    So sad. If IRM did A & C class loco's this would not be needed.
  23. popeye
    Lovely work patrick. I would like to see how these were built.
  24. popeye
    You are a real craftsman.

    Dangerous machines with all those weapons. Take me up for a spin, Mach 5 please.
