Looks good, very neat and consistent curves.

That's lovely - love the cab!

Andrew.

Thanks all

The mojo has been lacking recently but I have completed the cab and put the finishing touches on the Manning Wardle, now named 'Gellihaf'. My painting seems to be getting worse not better so I will have to get to grips with spray cans for the next loco!

I can't see anything wrong with your painting Stuart, looks just right to me.

Me too. I love that Matt finish.

I agree with Peter, the paint job looks fine.

Thanks guys. The photos are actually hiding the worst of the brush marks! I live in a small flat so have always assumes that spray painting was not possible; however I successfully used spray primer on the brass cab out on the exterior landing, so I will investigate further for the next loco.

It's surprising what you can do in unorthodox spaces.

Loco looks great, the flat, grimy finish is just right.
