Title: repaint service
Post by: bluedepot on May 24, 2021, 04:11:44 PM
hi everyone

other than mercig (who i agree are good but are expensive) who else have people used for loco repaints?

can anyone recommend someone or a company / model shop that carry out repaints?

i want a loco sprayed into departmental grey, which is a simple livery, but also want orange cantrail stripes, white numbers, data panel, black cab doors etc. etc.  i dont think farish will ever do such a dull livery!! (i just like it though...)

cheers

I'm pretty sure TMC don't do full repaints anymore.

@37058 (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=90) Anthony Sutton does superb work.

As does @Ozymandias (https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?action=profile;u=3534) - if one can drag him off of doing yet more previously much unloved and seriously abused Warships  :smiley-laughing:

Trust me the Warship fleets not quite complete yet.......
As mentioned Gideon (Ozymandias) work is truly superb.

Another vote for Gideon here, he's just finishing up a trio of union mills repaints and detailing for me and has done an astonishing job.

Yet another vote for the mighty Ozymandias.

It may surprise you to know he does 'proper' locos too, not just dodgy diseasels.

:nerner:

Ahem.   :-[

It's just occurred to me that somewhere (and it should be in progress by now) in the queue is a Western with my name on it.

I agree completely.  Gideon has painted a couple of steam locomotives for me; they are absolutely fabulous.  Highly recommended!  I'm wondering what the next project will be.

Best wishes
