40126's 16T Mineral Wagons Workbench

I know mate , Goin to give them another coat tonight

I find the trick is to get just enough paint on to cover the model & it looks you are doing this too so far ........same goes for top coats IMO (too much obliterates the detail )

More coats less paint is the buzz saying, Just like bread and butter the butter should be spread thinly and evenly so as not to ruin the taste of the bread. Simples

But dont forget to move the vehicle body around by hand as you spray , so you cover all the nooks and crannies

Hi there.

Just found this thread whilst trying to find the correct body width measurements of a 16t mineral. Does anyone know on here?

Nice work on the wagons Steve, I have a short rake to work on when I get the time.

Cheers.

The only accurate drawing that I can find is the LMS D2109 version and that has the dimension of 8'7" at its widest point if that's any help.

The taste of the BREAD? What? That chemical blandness, or the overdose of sugar? Butter before bread. And thick, with peanut butter mixed in

Cheers
