The pace has slowed down a lot over the last month or so (not that that is entirely a bad thing).

Work has been getting done on the D6, just not a lot of it!

Anyway I've finally managed to get the splashers and boiler to my liking and primed so from here on in (at least until I reach the lining stage) it should be fairly easy, for a given value of 'easy'.

I ran out of model filler a few weeks ago and it was only in the last week I was able to buy some more. The new tube is a different product from what I have previously used and seems to work a little better. An interesting thing I have found with this is that you can use plastic solvent to sculpt it once it has been applied- which has helped me get a smooth finish no end.

I will next be adding the frames under the smokebox and the cab roof; then into the paint shop for more primer and eventually into apple green livery.
