Been watching this one on Facey Malcolm, as always the detail is exquisite!

Well, after a rather long time off the brushes (since Oct 22) I finally picked them back up again this week. I have been 'painting' with and on stained glass for the past couple of months and thoroughly enjoying it. I decided to try and get this painting finished and have made some progress on it.

It's very good. One can see the individual parts of the engine. Interesting to see the painting stages.

Brilliant, there's nothing out of place and it's so clearly a U class. Mind you Eastleigh or Ashford might have turned out a real one since October!

Thanks Peter. I know what you mean about a real one being quicker to produce than this painting. I just lost impetus and the mojo towards the end of last year and stopped painting and couldn't be 'bothered'. I think the break and change of activity (working with stained glass) has done me good and I am fired up again with my painting again. Malcolm

Now nearing completion, and to boot a half decent photograph of it for a change (well the colours look more like they do on the painting at least!!!). Foreground, a bit of work near the tender, the steam above the cab, colour on the signal arms and some work on the shed front to do and I think it will be about there.

Excellent - the colours are bang on and unlike me you haven't covered the valve gear with steam!

Excellent - I'm slightly maliciously pleased to hear that someone else has had trouble with photographing images, though yours have always been sharp and clear so far as I could see.

It's not the sharpness Robert, it's the random variation in colour I get from one photo to the next, even those taken consecutively. Trying to get one which actually matches that of the original is quite a challenge. Drives me nuts!!!
