Over the last month or so there has been sporadic evenings of painting on various wagons. The Bachmann blue CCT has been treated to a pair of 3 link couplings and had some weathering applied via a wash of frame dirt/weathered black mix over the body and then various applications of weathering colours via the air brush. This is the finished result, another wagon into parcels service for Pottington Quay.
The landscape of Pottington Quay has also seen some serious progress. I spent ages wondering how to blend the quay walls into the layout. So after a lot of not doing anything very much, I bit the bullet and glued the walls down and started adding DAS clay for the cobbled key front. There is still a lot of work to do on this, but as ever, just biting the bullet has meant that some progress has been made. There is a lot of scribing to do for the cobbles and I have decided I would like the quay front a different colour, but I will cross this bridge when everything is dry and ready for painting. Further updates to follow.....
