The author spent six years building a 7 1/4 inch gauge model of an LNER B1 locomotive and wanted to paint it to a high standard. This turned out to be easier said than done. The complete process of painting and lining took two years of frustration,mistakes and wrong directions,but finally he won a gold medal at the 2004 Model Engineer Exhibition and the Charles Kennion Memorial Trophy for the best finished model in the show.It was this success that led the author to put pen to paper . This is not an academic treatise on painting , but a practical "cook book" from someone who did finally achieve a good result starting from zero knowledge.With 168 pages , 130 colour photographs and 30 diagrams this book takes the reader through all the necessary satges and processes in painting a model engineering subject. It includes selection and making of equipment,paint,prep-aration,spray and hand painting,fixing blemishes,lining,transfers,looking after paintwork and a list of suppliers.
