A nice little before and after to to speak (or "here's one I made earlier"......)

A little more smoke finish on the smokebox and that's the painting done, just waiting on the etched nameplates and smokebox number from Narrow planet now. the artwork came through this morning, so it shouldn't be long now.
One of the shells will be making its way to New Zealand today, so I can't wait to see what another modeller can do with the shell. I'm sure it'll put my efforts to shame!
I must admit, I found myself staring at the Q1 last night, in complete disbelief that I have managed to make a loco of my own, that does not look out of place alongside of my RTR fleet. I've put it off making one for so long, but with the exception of the varnish/transfers, I have really enjoyed the process, and I'm looking forward to making more!
Thanks, Paul.
