"Can it be true, that I hold here in my mortal hand a nugget of purest green?"
Well, yes, but not the right green!
A rather failed attempt to paint the Carriage and Boiler shop has occured today! After browsing the array of greens on sale in the local Halfords, I picked one that I thought was the closest match to the building, as seen in exhibit 'A' below:

Exhibit 'A'
Now a small disclaimer, the lighting conditions are not ideal for photography in the room, especially with the iphone, and consqeuntly the photo below makes the green look alot darker than it actually is, but still it is much to blue, not yellow enough and therefore wrong! Exhibit B, m'lud:

Exhibit 'B'
So, back to the drawing board it is on this one. I think I’m going have to resort to doing things the difficult way and spray the building with the airbrush if I can find a better match in one of the paint ranges.
Still, at least there is now a nice smooth base coat for the final top coat!
Tom.
