Having painted the interiors of the Lima 117 DMU, it was time to add some colour to the seats. In real life the DMUs underwent several refurbishments and the seats were upholstered in blue towards the end of their use with British Rail. I went with that brush painting a suitable blue onto the seat faces.
It took a while but eventually both interior units had heir seats painted.
I also took the opportunity to highlight the existing detail in the cab. Just painting some of the controls brought the cab to life.
Now as to the reason for spending time sanding down the end tor pin marks on the seats and it is contained in this recently procured pack.
These are not highly detailed or particularly well painted seated passengers but for the inside of the DMU they are ideal. Just to get an idea of how they would look I temporarily placed a few figures on the seats. I think that is look good!
