Actually that is a good idea. It ys looking good.

Your doing a good job Steve - I'm looking forward to seeing the finished result.

I have found it best to creep up on a model when doing lining before it notices and throws a hissy fit.
Slowly, slowly, catches monkey.

P.S. the other side does not look like this.

This colour thing is very personal as people see colours in diferent shades to others.What is dark green to some may be brown to others. I don't thing any body sees colours the same. I don't think the hornby red is browny red at all it looks dark red to me, but not perhaps to others.

Lining is so well done. Wish I could do that.
When I tried lining it always looks a mess.

Sandy, the trick is gentle manipulation of the transfers with a moist paintbrush and a bamboo skewer.

Progress so far - the owner has been asked for comment before I commit to varnish.

Green would have been easier.
