Now that's looking really good - I've enjoyed watching the work you've done on your stock. Network SouthEast is always brilliant to see as well.

thanks, ive changed the colour pallet over the last few builds to my own mix of red and blue to make it look more faded and washed out, the red is almost pink

bit more work on the 4tc, started on the roofs, used water based paint, and a brown wash over it, then terps to wipe the wash off as it was a bit excessive and it started to peal some of the roof grey off when wiping the terps off which looks quite realistic

made a start on the 307 centre car, had a end part left over from the pantograph car conversion so grafted it on to a trailer end of an epb and made a centre car

Very good work and an interesting project.

How easy (or difficult) was it to take the roof off?

 

[VEP3417]

its a bit tricky as it has little V clips all the way along the inside, which you always brake a few by pushing them with a screwdriver to pop the roof up but you can always glue the roof down at the very end if needed
