Primer time (Halfords Red Primer).



Followed by a rub down with some wet 'n dry paper and lots of water.


Once it's dried out I'm hoping to get some top-coat on this week.

Had a quiet day in, so an ideal opportunity to do some painting. More of Halfords finest + Tamiya acrylics.

The following pictures show where I am now. Artificial light makes the green look a bit lurid!


This is more how it looks.


Still lots of overspray to tidy up and more coats of acrylic before I'm happy with the finish.

A set of 'Hughes & Co' builders plates would be nice, but understandably no-one appears to do 'em.

Once all the painting is done I'll give it a light weathering just to highlight the detail and hide my more obvious mistakes.

With that colour you should perhaps get some ISAAC NEWT(on) plates.....

Kermit the Frog might have something to say about that!

I've seen the above name mentioned from time to time, but never investigated further. I've just had a look at their website and it looks promising. Thanks for the heads-up.
