Piko Railbus bash - silver bullet...

Slow but steady progress now on the Piko Railbus bash, and with the cold but dry weather tonight I risked airbrushing the silver onto the body.

I used my usual B&Q premium masking tape, cut on a glass picture frame with a knife and steel rule to prepare the V stripes at each end.

The Humbrol silver paint was lightly thinned and airbrushed surprisingly well. In this light the finish looks blotchy but that will disappear as it is only a variation in the gloss finish, a I will apply satin varnish after I apply the transfers and paint the door handles and buffers.

I also have painted the roof of the LGB/Liliput diesel bash silver as well.
