coaches and paintjobs
I have my birthday coming up, and i have decided to get some coaches for my Lady Anne.
But i have a few problems.
the ones i originally wanted from brandbright arent being made till later in the year, because they are making ffestiniog stuff.
Another option is the IP roundhouse 4 comp coaches, these have the right body, but painting all those little oval pannels neatly could be frustrating.
and also i think the coaches sit to high.
the final option, and the most likely is to get a couple of IP VOR Matchboard Passenger Bogie Coach's, but would these look ok in red and cream?? or shoudl i leave them natural. which also look quite nice.

Those Vof R's should look nice with that Lady Anne, with regard to paiting, brushing is easier but sparaying gives a better finish as long as you do it in the right conditions, ie in a heated spray booth (ok carboard box and hairdryer), they will look nice in red and cream though
"What the hell is that?"
"It's a model icebreaker sir."
"It's a bit big isn't it?"
"It's a full scale model sir....."

by whats the best paint i mean, brand and name, i could guess cream or off white.SillyBilly wrote:Cream or Off-White, if you paint it white it'll get dirty far too easily, take white cars for example.
