You haven't lived Matt, THIS is the cartoon I'm on about www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/30/winni ... 93624.html , anyone offended by the 'F' word may not wish to view it.

*I'd recomend 'de-bunglefy' as 'anti bungle' makes it look as though we are banning him from this topic, which I hope we are not.
Polictical correctness on the Forum now then eh?!

I just don't want Bungle to feel as though he is not welcome, when infact he's a real forum legend :lol: .

In my politics lesson yesterday...

Teacher: "Assess the obstacles faced by minor parties in the USA."

Student: "Swine flu."


I think this topic is bungled beyond redemption now!

(You could say that it has been infected by swine flu...I'll shut up now.)

*Was gonna say makes it look smashing, but that would be an unfortunate use of words!

It's either De-Bunglefy or Anti-Bungle, there's no half way mark!

I don't quite know what to say at Will's response to bungle's comment! Found it disturbingly funny for my liking!
Anyway, got Urien reassembled today and posed for the works photo (the works being the lounge table of course)

Oh no, I've fitted the bunker, what controversy i'm going to cause!

Cab interior. The last thing I did was paint the burner and cab pipework matt black, this was inspired by MTA as he said he was about to do the same thing to Peaslake

Looks spectacular, can't wait to see it without the bunker.

Glad to know I have inspired someone :lol:

Did you just spray the smokebox ratty, or hand paint it?

laalratty

Post by laalratty » Fri May 08, 2009 9:44 pm

It was spray painted, using halfords matt black spray paint. I know some prefer the high tempture matt black, but I think this looks a bit too matt, almost a matt dark blue.
Thanks for the poistive comments everyone :)

With the smokebox did you strip the original paint off? If so, what primer did you use before the matt black? I'm considering doing some cosmetic mods to Cumberland and I think a matt black smoke box mite be something to consider!

I presume Cumberland=Lawley, many people re-spray Accucraft smokeboxes and all you have to do is clean it with the turps and spray away.

Yeah Cumberland is my Lawley. I've got a few ideas from looking at the post about making burners quieter over on the GSM forum where someone has done a few things to their lawley!

I just washed it down with thinners and sprayed over the top of the paint that was there, done this with Caradoc and Gwydion with no problems, and Taliesin is up next ;)
