Err, well, a slight change of direction again !!
The wagon design is such that I had to paint most of the outside, you can't get
to it very well when the chassis is built under it.
So while that was drying I decided to add the water filler into the Adams radial
coal bunker.. I tried a couple of different quality paint brush protective sheaths.
Eventually deciding on the size you see here.
Then I had to make a filler top, round with just a small overlap. I tried trimming
another scrap piece of Slaters Brick, working down from a 9 mm square. It's as near
to round I could sand by hand !! The top handle is a small piece of 0.3 microstrip,
not in everybody's stash, but 45 years of plastic model making means I do have
some strange stuff.
Coal fill next step.
Here it is :-
I should be doing my Bufferstop diorama, but am awaiting some grass flock - must
have it somewhere but can't find that one colour, have the other 3 I use with it.
