Surprisingly enjoyable


I'm rather enjoying this lining lark.  This is the progress on the Coffee Pot, using a Bob Moore lining pen.










The black base coat is in cellulose, and the lining is in enamel.  This has proved to be a superb combination.  It's possible to allow the lining to harden slightly, then tidy it up with a very fine brush loaded with turps.

I'm sure that it was in the book by Ian Rathbone that I read this first, but it does make life very easy.

I'll look at the model again in the morning with a fresh set of eyes to see if there is anything else that needs correcting.  And maybe add in the brass of the window surrounds, to set off the red lining.

Cheers
Flymo
