So, a week on the wagon for Brynamon is complete. This is it at the 95% mark. The subtle shade difference is the gloss painted planks, painted to allow water slide decals and MicroSol decal solution to pull the decals into the planks. So far so good, just a scalpel cut needed after the first drying, the solution then will draw the decals into almost like capillary action into the mould lines. Buffers gave been swapped at the last minute. It now wears Accurascale RCH type, a small deviation, as the kit mouldings were really clunky and stood out as being the wrong shape and coarse. Sometimes doing something wrong deliberately is the right choice. The van is finished, but it’s one of those small ‘explosive’ charges that links me into doing something else…

Will the charge light up Shelfie3 again? It’s an intriguing thought. The layout needs signals and the components are sitting under the work bench, they need defining in terms of how they work, so probably more shelf of doom time for them! There’s the N gauge, 009 and TT120 projects all needing a coat of looking at too, plenty to think about, but the van above, being a quick win has pulled the motivation up a notch or two!
