At long last the Nameboard.

At long last Teignford will have a name!
I have searched high and low for my 3mm lettering and finally found it.
Safely sandwiched between some plastic moulded brick arches, I have lost count of the number of times I have looked in that box.
However, these Slaters letters are just the right size for GW station running in boards- indeed examples of my work exist on Hennock and Nigel Cullimores St Levan.
Easy to clean up whilst still on the sprue,and with a guide line scored on black plasticard, it's just a matter of detaching each letter and , after lining up, a swift lick of MEK and it's done.
The surround is lengths of square microstrip cut to size and applied in the same way- Time taken? About 30minutes.

Platform Fencing

Some things are better done when there is a few minutes to spare. Such a job is to firstly add some posts to the excellent GW platform fencing supplied by John Bateman through the 3mm Society. It comes as you see it- with two 215mm pieces finely etched. I added the posts with superglue and when cured hand painted it with Humbrol No 1 undercoat. When dry a coat of Precision Paints Light Stone was applied.I ahve an assortment of paint brushes. This is definitely a job for the cheaper variety as etched brass of this type will damage the bristles. It si nigh impossible to take the sharpness off such a fine etch.
Todays top tip- Paint these type of things on greaseproof paper. It wont stick and will add a little paint to tother side making life a little easier. Plus you wont find it stuck to something in the morning.
