Hi All This months issue's are now finished but here's a few pic's on progress. Firstly the wheels have been finished to a degree with edge chipping . The motion gear has been sand blasted to get an even overall colour I was not going for a shine here as the parts have then been given a coat of Tamiya Smoke which dry's to a shiny dirty oily look and represented the finish I was trying to achieve. More soon regards Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi Peter Thank you for your comments and looking in. The paint is by Railmatch and is called '2412 Weathered black' I got mine from 'Antics online' it can only be ordered via the website as the shops don't stock it. Hope this helps regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi All this months parts were the adding of brackets and handles , headlight plus the boiler sides and smoke box rear plate nothing to worry about here as they all fitted together with there usual good fit. The only thing I changed was to use piano wire to keep the boiler handle brackets in line. Then it was just a case of degreasing , undercoating and top coat regards Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi Mark there are various degreasers available from Halfords say see link http://www.halfords.com/...gId=10151&langId=-1
But my method is to use white vinegar as a degreaser I use the same for etch parts too Hope this helps Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

I agree with Andy diluted white vinegar is sufficient. and much more cost effective.
