Not content with making sure that the cab of our Welsh Pony is finished in grey, as per the real one, he decided to try and replicate the black borders in the corners and around the doorways.
This very neat trick was achieved using black waterslide lining transfers.
He has also managed to paint the end of the saddle tank black, which must have taken a lot of care and skill in such a confined space.
I feel bound to say that I don't think he would have been so keen to attempt this if it wasn't for a friend of ours, who is making a model of the locomotive in 7mm scale, posting on social media that he wasn't going to attempt to pick out the end of the tank and was going to leave it grey.
Given the size differential between the two scales you'd be forgiven for concluding that this is a clear case of one upmanship on Himself's part....
