Black Lines

The real 130 steamed back into action this week and our miniature version is not far behind.

With the main plum colour and the large expanses of black painted Himself has worked through applying the edging transfers around the cab and on the boiler bands.

We use lines of waterslide transfers because you get a much sharper definition than you would ever manage with a brush.

They will get a protective coat of varnish before the trickiest job of applying the fine, straw lines begins.
