that looks marvellous! Really great work.
I actually typed this post five minutes after putting down a paintbrush myself!

I've got one of those coaches built and two more to go but I took the easy approach and just painted all the sides Indian Red as that is how the early WAGR carriages were painted were I live.
Fiddly little buggers to build aren't they but you can't fault the price.

get a bit of white spirit on the bush and just gently rub it, the paint will disappear.
