GWR Clarestory coach

[john lewsey]

My son is coming over to Spain so I had to put everything away. Looking at Graham Bears Scruffs Junction post reminded me that I could possibly get my GWR coach out of it's dust leaden box. I got one of these quite a while ago after looking at Wenlocks blog on rmweb. So armed with paint and a brush I hope to finally get the lining done. The lining is done by brush.
As I have said before I am not a professional painter, but I do my best.

Hi John , could you not use your (bow) lining pen to do that job ?

Hi Paul, yes I, did us it on the long straight lines but on Wenlocks blog on rmweb he used a brush . I just thought I would give it a try. It seems ok ( I hope)

Looking very good John, you don't have to be a professional just patience and care.

Hi , most of the lining is done just the Gold to do. There is some touching up to do in places but overall I am quite pleased so far. It certainly makes a change for engines. The roof is certainly going to take a lot of work to sort out .

Slaters’ kit? I had the same issue with wavy roofs. Rather put me off them.

Mine have been in storage for years, it’ll be interesting to see what’s happened to them. I very much doubt they’ll have got better…

Hi Simon, it's a shame that they aren't one piece. I understand that the molds aren't long enough.
