You spin me right round baby......

I managed to get enough time to paint the turntable this week.


The finished product.


The steps to painting. Undercoat grey first for better paint adhesion and a good base colour.



Next a blue grey mixture


Then some areas are lightly covered with grey to depict faded paint.


Closer view.


Next a dusting of rust on the underframe.



Using a paint brush I painted the walkways with a brown grey mixture.


When gluing on the rails I used 3 sleepers close together to maintain the gauge rather than trying to measure it.
