Thirtysecond
Western Thunderer
The working drains are now being installed. The cylinder drain valves and the operational drain pipes ( 50 of which I sprayed on Thursday last) are being hidden behind the dummy (scale) Copper pipes. You can just see them poking out if you look hard!
(NB. A cleat to secure the pipes to the front step (dummy on outside and working inside) has yet to be added and the cylinder cover has got to be panelled and lined out.)
This is a pristine, ex-works example which many of our customers demand. Needless to say I shall be weathering mine! I find that Humbrol "antique bronze", No 171, gives an excellent representation of Copper tarnished by weather and heat.
