Which shade of Blue???

[Caggers]

Hi All,

No I'm not trying to start a debate. I was looking for something else and found this picture of Sir Nigel Gresley. As can be seen the tender is showing where the water tanks are based on the condensation on the outside of the tender. Just thought I'd share...

Cheers Simon

I wonder if anyone would be brave enough to model that knowing full well that the fun police would start decrying it?

I was wondering just how you'd model it..??!!??

Airbrush job with a touch of white in some of the blue paint that was used for the finish coat, and a very subtle treatment.

Or get my German pointer to breath on it and quickly spray with sealer.

I wish they'd repaint it into Garter Blue..........like it was when I was a lad

I couldn't agree more One of Chris's first railway paintings is of SNG in Garter blue as it was when Phill was a lad
