I built this one for my girlfriend. Why? Because she asked
me to. She likes steam engines, which is not a bad thing in my book. Pretty
much out of the box (out of the blister pack more accurately) other than
replacing the stack stays with .015" brass rod and the piping around
the boiler with 040" brass rod. Paint is Humbrol yellow, aluminium
and coal black (first time I've actually used this to paint coal!) with
polished aluminium for the wheel rims. The firebox is in Citadel "Dwarf
Bronze", which is a nice dark brass colour. Testors Metalizer Brass
was used for the shiny bits on top. |
