Here we go again. The tooling is very nice on the 1/109 mineral, rivets everywhere! Unfortunately I got this kit secondhand and the floor is missing or I've lost it, no bother really.

I've been trying Deluxe Materials Plastic Magic, it is much less aggressive than EMA plastic weld, keeping more of the detail intact on this kit.

This spray painting lark takes some time. This is only half of what's been done so far. I decided to put some paint on the O gauge wagons seen at the beginning of this thread, about time! Some are ready for transfers.

I am supposed to be building a wagon at the moment, but I have distracted myself with other projects which were not at all urgent but somehow I felt a need to have a go at. Then the weather was too hot to do more wagon soldering so I had a fresh excuse. I am working my way back up my list of extra projects, but this still leaves a coach and a wagon unpainted for over two years, and a bare new wagon from earlier this year.

I do try to use WT to focus my efforts but there are also chunks of layout completely untouched. I think painting many wagons at the same time is laudable, and in different scales at the same time is sheer dedication!

You're braver than me, you make wagons from brass kits, something I'll never do, mostly because I prefer plastic and sticking with plastic means my wagons will be of a similar weight. Looking at this thread again I realised I've had these O gauge wagons waiting for paint since 2020, high time they were finished. I'd got to a point where I'm building lots of RMM wagons and not painting them, so time to paint. But transfers and weathering will also take time, especially as I've only ever weathered one wagon!

Spraying is what I do, but I suppose it is easy when I have a purpose-built sprayshop. I had thought of disposing of it after retirement and setting up the compressor etc in the railway shed for the odd occasions I need to do some spraying, but it was a faff. So I fully understand what it must be like for people who only spray occasionally.

Despite having a sizable compressor and a nice selection of guns, from my days as an architectural modelmaker, I'm a confirmed rattle can sprayer in the garden. So build stuff during the winter and spray it in the summer! I should buy a solvent fume mask though.
