Hi Ron
Enjoy chilling in the garden. Puff-puff paint job is looking very good.

Thanks Jim.
I trust all is well in Os-west-aary?

I'll finish this build for now....

Thanks to those who took the time to write encouraging and complimentary posts. They kept me going through what turned out to be a very difficult exercise.
I appreciated every one of them,,,, :thumb2:

Still loads to do. The paintwork still needs tidying, squaring up and generally sharpening and coating to an acceptable shade consistency. Then the loco will have some weathering etc. I'll do all this at a later date when my eyesight returns to some sense of normality.

Plenty of work still to do, but here are a few shots to close with. I've brushed on the last two colours, Dk. Yellow and German Grey. Making 6 in total.














Thanks again for your support.

Looking great - if you had a countryside background we would hardly be able to spot it !!

Ron,
Apologies only just found this great build. I am always interested in your builds no matter what the subject and with results like this it is hardly surprising. I love everything from the overall finish to the kettle over the firebox.

's a good job you didn't work for the Germans in WWII - we'd have never found any of their stuff! I'm assuming it's the excellent paint job which caused you all your problems as you were very complimentary about the kit build?

Actually, I wonder why they camoflaged locos....they were mostly attacked from the air, and no matter how good the camo they would then show up as a hole in the track. Perhaps camouflaging them as track would have been more effective.....

Thanks chaps.



Don't know really, I've never attempted either. It'll probably go tits up, but I have to at least try. If I do make a balls of it I'll re-paint it in a light colour and have another bash.

Mike, is this the Revell 'Big One' you have? (I'll delete it as soon as I find out) If it is, it makes up into a great kit. Bl***y long too! I made mine all 'orrible and dirty.

Superb....

Dave. The kit is great. The brush painting was very hard to do to get to this stage - and it's not even finished yet.....

Tim. A tough cookie for sure. See full swear box! It'll be full up again before the painting is satisfactorily completed.

Pete, here's a bit of 'Quicky' fun. Please, not to be taken seriously. Hopefully, I'll be making a 'proper' dio. later when the loco is finished.

Hi Ron
Love the camo. Not seen it before on a train.
Stay safe.
