A vision in black...

I'm VERY excited! Tonight I sprayed the first of two coats of Humbrol satin black enamel on Henrik, my LGB Frank S conversion.

It covered extremely well and the second coat will go on tomorrow. That means gloss varnish on Wednesday, transfers and detail painting next week!

  1. James, that does look very nice. The smoke box already seems to have a glossy finish... did you mask this first?

    I wanted to go back and ask about the resin rivets.... did your pack cover a variety of rivets and fasteners? I was considering the pack with just the 0.008" (0.2mm) rivets as a) these are available, and b) I thought they might be right for what I need - but before I made an outlay... I thought I'd ask you as you'd played with these.
    Right - back to the permanent way work on my boys' 8x4 roundy... and back to adding the filler caps to my deltic fuel tanks

  2. No in this photo Jon I've only just finished spraying so the smokebox is still wet :)

    It dried a lovely satin sheen all over, nice and consistent :)
