    Nah, the paint don't taste too good, however the thinner smells ok, and could become an aquired taste - yeeuck.

    After much prodding......

    My weapon of choice - not much of a choice really, it is a no name brush bundled with my compressor.

    [​IMG]

    I have fitted quick release fittings to the brush and braided hose

    [​IMG]

    The undercoat used is Humbrols #1 Acrylic Grey Primer, thinned 50:50 with Tamiya X-20A thinners

    [​IMG]

    The small cup is an ink cup for tattoo artists, I use it as a measuring cup.

    Well all 4 coaches primed and waiting to dry

    oh what video.....

    Hi Paul,
    what a great video. I loved the music .......very Paul Daniels. A great atmosphere abut the whole video with gripping music.
    More importantly, the job in hand was made to look quite straight forward. No special technique required, just light coats added gradually and keep the airbrush moving. It looks like good coverage was achieved.
    As I said before, the hard bit is getting the consistency of the paint and thinners correct but you could see that the paint was looking solid enough.
    looking forward to part two. maybe a bit more complicated to get a good even finish.
    cheers

    Cheers, treating Morag to a coffee out this afternoon, as Hobbycraft is just next door, I can just pop in and get Tamiya masking tape :whatever:

    See the romance never wears off.......

    Rudolph Valentino or what. Still, I'm sure that Morag will need masking tape for something ......... in various widths as well. :avatar:

    I've got the souther region green one of these and I think it'll look good with the same kind of weathering. I'm told parcels stock was rarely cleaned, so it's hard to go wrong. Thanks for showing the way.:thumbs:

    Cheers Guy's

    I have started applying the colour - the video will follow, but will have more than just spraying layer after layer of paint.

    I used Humbrol RC403 Crimson Lake (acrylic)- all the local hobbyshop had.

    After 4 (thin) coats it still looked pinkish, and not maroon, so I took what was left of the RC403 approx 1 ink cup full, and added 2 cups of Humbrol #20 gloss acrylic, and 3 cups of Tamiya X-20A thinner. Two further coats and it looks the part now.

    Lima MK1 BG

    Mailine Ex LMS 50ft BG

    Lima Ex GWR Siphon & CCT

    Next up mask up the body sides ready for the Grey roof, and black underframes.

    Hi Paul,

    Good result. Looks like a good solid covering from here. The colour itself looks fine.

    I'll look forward to the video. Hopefully it will give an idea as to the paint / thinners mixing quantities. That's something I've struggled with.

    Cheers

    Toto

    The roofs were painted with Tamiya Acrylic XF-24 Dark Grey, thinned 50:50 with Tamiya X-20A acrylic thinner.

    [​IMG]

    2 coats was enough

    From the top Mainline 50ft BG, Mainline 50ft BG, Lima Siphon G, Lima CCT roof

    Another 24 hour wait, then the black.

    That top image shows a nice even coat Paul. There is a bit of a shadow cast on the bottom one but the paint will probably be fine.

    A job well done.

    Looking forward to the ends getting done.

    Cheers

    Black sprayed on the ends and chassis

    :drums: :drums: :drums:

    The fashion parade can begin

    The CCT - one axel missing hence the slight angle

    [​IMG]

    The Siphon G

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    The Mainline 50ft BG

    [​IMG]

    The lima Mk1 BG

    [​IMG]

    Gloss varnish next to allow the transfers to be applied - must find the transfers, especially as Hattons and Gaugemaster are out of stock.

    Then the flush glazing - another first for me.

    Then weathering, which is where this thread started.
