Carriage painting

P1100053 P1100052
Some more painting of carriages today – the bugs are looking good with the green/red done and the interiors in wood colour… 117 has progressed from primer, right through to red/ivory with black ends and the Pickering I built is nopw grey with black details.  The other two carriages are refurbs from the late Ben Fisher’s collection – the NWNGR workmens carr, now with interior fitted and another Pickering brake in green.

Those bug boxes are impressive! What paints did you use for them as the colours look pretty spot on!

Cheers

A MIX OF BRUNSWICK AND MALACHITE GREENS. ENDS WERE A MIX OF RAILMATCH RUST AND A RED OF SOME KIND. acrlyics are easy to mix and make trials with!
