Right here's the score so far. Primed, pre-shaded and painted the loco body, plus applied all 6 of the decals. The black is a 'scale black' and the green ended up a 5:1 mix of GW Ork Green and Vallejo black, which is a pretty close colour to the GWR green:![]() ![]() Next up is the cab interior painting and all that stuff. However the whole train will need a track to run on... ![]() Now this build is growing a little from a simple loco and carriage into a full blown diorama. So on top of the 2 more carriage an aircraft (possibly 2) I have to consider ballast, track side detail and a bit of landscaping. best pull my finger out I think. :D |

Well. After a halt due to other things I'm able to really crack on. The Prairie has its wheel sets on..![]() .. its rather natty buffer heads and hook for the chain... ![]() ...the base is glued and track ballasted... ![]() ...the carriage and Comet... ![]() ![]() ...Comet taking shape, hopefully primed and painted by close of play today... ![]() ![]() ![]() ...why the Comet? My Grandfather was on the field trials team in 1944 as I found out recently. Must dash more to do as I've got a carriage to build... |

Financial constraints & common sense hit in. For the wagon alone it would have been....£40.00!!! |

Is that some sort of specialist film genre we should be aware of?

Well wonders never cease. I've almost built a model in a day!! the Comet has been painted and all I need to do are the road tire's and tracks. She's been given a base of Field Grey followed by a misting of Khaki Drab, this seems to have broken up the expanse of FG nicely...![]() ...tomorrow I'll do the finishing touches and start the carriage. |

Okay, base has started to take shape. A small pool...![]() ...the landscape has been shaped and crossing made up... ![]() ....the prairie is taking shape nicely... ![]() ...and the Comet has started to receive its detail paint job after its wash... ![]() Next job throw this lot together and get the carriage built up. |
