    now for the start of the paint job

    I thought I'd try pre-shading, a tecnique use by military modellers

    The underframe and metal work were sprayed with a 50:50 mix of Tamiya Black and X20 thinner


    Next up first coat of Railmatch BR Late Bauxite thinned with X20 thinner, after the first bit of spraying it needed thinning a bit more - now probably 25% paint to 75% X20.





    Second photo probably shows the pre-shading off the best - the flash kinda killed the effect
