John I used Halfords Red Primer and before the second coat dried it got a spray of Halfords grey primer from a good distance to take the edge off it. The roofs were done in same Grey primer and then a light spray of Railmatch roof dirt. I used the Railmatch on the floors of the Flats and used a cotton bud to wipe most of it off before it dried. All easy options rather than use the airbrush, I hate the whole cleaning process, 5 sec spray to 5 mins cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John-r Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Thanks for getting back about the paints Kieran, that does seem an easier option Than cleaning airbrushs for a small job and just as effective . Hope to maybe meet you at Bangor show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The voice of truth. Interesting to hear from more experienced folk. As a newbie to airbrushing it took me ages to clean up the first few times, and I found it quite frustrating, but now I get the airbrush cleaned in about 2mins (i.e. after acrylics). Anyway Kieran those wagons look super and your creative use of the aerosols clearly worked very well. Love the tractor load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirley Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Thanks for the comments Guys. As for the airbrush experience, I meant to include the preparation time and well as the after-cleaning. 2 minutes to stir the paint and then mix with thinners, 5 sec blast and then the cleaning. But I know it's the right way to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, Kevin, Guess what? - I will have my UG pulling my stock! See you guys there. Just about to drive up from Dublin after a fruitful day in The Archives and eyeing up my next project which was in the yard at Heuston!
