A drop of matt varnish will get rid of the shine.

Looking good Barry. What colour/s are you using for the skin tone? I’ve used a very light yellowy pink, and they’re all the same. Very boring. R-

Can't speak for Barry but I use Vallejo - three different shades of flesh available but light and mid are best for UK models.

Hi Roger - I've used Humbrol Flesh No.61 and Tamiya XF-15 Flat Flesh - both matt, both acrylic and both look the same I did think about mixing in other colours and dabbing it on the back of my hand to try and get the correct tone - I'll give it a try. Barry

PS. Steve's Vallejo flesh tones can be bought in a pack of eight - covers all nationalities

Thanks both. I’ll have a few more to do when I get V3 layout a bit more advanced! R-

How many more required to complete the collection Barry. Nice loco.

I think it's two Brian - maybe three. As Hornby only produced 35005 Can.Pac. in blue, I needed a green one, so when complete the collection will be thirty one. The guy selling this loco has a large collection of M/N and West Country Class loco's on ebay. They are nearly all based on the Hornby models with the Loksound decoders fitted. Even the postman said this morning "another train Sir!"

Do you lock Pam in the shed when the postman is due?

[bulleidboy]

I don't think she heard or saw the postman this morning - luckily I've just checked my list and I do have twenty nine M/N's, but as one is blue, I'd better say twenty eight - so two to go
