Two projects to bring up to speed tonight. Let's start with 'Jutland'. She's been put into primer, and the gaps filled. And then she was given a first coat of green... and some more gaps found....

The green is wrong of course but that's part of the way I go about getting an apple green finish. Two coats of Revell 'Leaf Green' followed by two coats of Humbrol 'Apple Green'.

The other project is very exciting...

A 3D print of a basic bodyshell landed on the doormat this morning. It's the body and running plate of an LNER B5/1. The plan is to add the missing bits of the body using plastic sheet, and then using brass castings from Alan Gibson for the boiler fittings. They're some of his J11 parts which can be bought as spares. The body will be fitted to a Hornby B12 chassis which will be re-wheeled with Hornby Black 5 drivers.
