Bit of a messy weekend. Got the Pollyfilla out and did a bit of plastering on 'Parkstone Goods'
The brown is a lot darker than in these photo's. A good old mixture of Polyfilla, PVA and brown paint, oh and some water. I add the paint to the mix so should it get chipped white doesn't show through and find that adding PVA tends to make it a bit more flexible. Will leave to dry out for a couple of days and then add all the greenery. At the moment the bank at Parkstone is well over grown so was going to do the same on the model.
Also, i painted the 02 am really pleased, just the dreaded linning to do next
More practice with the Bow Pen me thinks. I do cheat with the boiler bands and use transfers namely from HMRS. Will give her another coat of red on the buffer beams.
Model Railways, 4mm scale, ex LSWR and the Southern Railway in the 1930s. BR blue in the 1970s. Kit building to scratchbuilt, RTR to DCC..... I AM A MODELIST
About Me
- cparkstone
- When i left school back then i was lucky enough to enroll on an engineering apprenticeship. I think this lead me in good stead. I was always one of those children that pulled things apart but actually put them back together again. My first engine given to me at the age of Seven, a Triang Princess Elizabeth. The rest as they say is History. Later in life i got back in to Model Railways and started building Pine Road. This could lead anywhere so i hope you enjoy my Blog.
