BR 20t Brave Van (ABS Kit)
Posted: Tue Sep 20, 2022 4:04 pm
So over the weekend I managed to exit up the 45' bank ('quick way out') out of the festival fire pit area without :
a) Falling flat on my face, or
b) Having a heart attack.
As the music takes a back seat for a while I'm now free to get back to slicing/burning fingers again. The first project to get attention is the ABS 20t BR brake van. One of the lamp irons fell off, the roof is not fixed yet (ducket windows not yet glazed) and the tail lamp irons need straightening up and painting, but otherwise all good. Well, except the four blunders (more 1 blunder x 4). There's just something about this kit. On reflection the gaps between the planks probably need a little more definition, the chalk's not playing ball with paint on this one so some very careful brush work needed. And toning down the white handrails a bit. The sack truck and milepost finally got undercoated!
