Tonight the underframe detailing got painted black and the remainder of the unpainted details (buffers, lamp irons, chimney) got their own dash of colour too. It's really coming together now:
Just handrails and lettering as the main tasks left to do now.
That looks lovely. A nice level of detail, I think. Did you glue the lamp irons on? I tried to drill some, but gave up. It's one aspect that I don't enjoy; the GNR one I did has a plethora of the things too!
