#ModelWorldLIVE - my most challenging model yet. At the time, only the cabs and sides/roof were available and this kit required some creative work to get it to fit together squarely. I also have 2nd one in my to-do box but I doubt I'll get near that anytime soon, lol. #VariousMultipleUnits #bsmrguk

Normally on a gloss varnished base with a satin or matt seal over the top. On RTR ready liveried stock like 1529 4CEP i haven't sealed it other than its application using Humbrol Decalfix. Being new Railtec Transfers they're pretty strong and resilient in this case.

#WhatsOnTheWorkbench - I am surprised that neither the BR or SR Bulleid 4EPBs are available in RTR form, especially given their widespread use across the Southern Region. That said, I did cheat a little on my builds. Who said cheats never prosper 😂 #VariousMultipleUnits #bsmrguk
