With the Fergie tractor put to one side after having found a minute to finish it off, I turned back to the 09 gauge project I am beginning to make progress on. Having painted the loco blue and skips blue and added some red to the lower parts of the loco, the skip running gear was painted black and the insides of the skips metal. I think it all works well together as this picture of the wheeless skips and chassisless loco shows.
As I did highlight previously, there is a need to weather the loco and the skips as they look as though they have just rolled out of the The Railway Locomotive and Rolling Stock Emporiums showroom. Before I can do that I do need to get them all in a matt varnish. The varnish helps to adhere the subsequent application of weathering powders and similar treatments as well as protecting the base paint. That has now been done so I just need to wait until the varnish fully dries and then I can start the dirtying process!
Talking of dirty, I have started to paint the two 3D printed 7mm figures that I have which will be part of this project at some stage! At this early part of the painting process they do look somewhat unkept and dirty but hopefully I can give them some pizzazz once fully painted! I think Mrs. Woody thinks that I should also paint myself in the hope of me gaining some pizzazz!
