Green was a good choice.

And I am interested in how your base will turn out.

That has come out lovely!

Agreed - the green works really well. What paint/process do you use?

Thanks fellows!

Yes - I'm a fan of green for the feeling of weight it gives to machinery.

The paint process is just acrylics and inks - I went into a bit of detail on the blog:


Should be finished with this one pretty soon!

 lol I wondered if you'd use the rest of the motor.

Nice to see you back and rooting through the bit box.

Very well done.

You're to be commended for going back and fixing things you believe could be done better (control mechanisms, coal bunker/shovel to fill an empty corner, MSPB replacement, etc).

All I can hear are the background sound effects used in "Yellow Submarine".
