That is looking pretty convincing as a teak finish. I think you are putting on a yellow base coat, then brown streaks over it, is that correct?

Those LNER models look very good! Evidently your approach works very well. I never imagined it would be possible to reproduce a teak finish this way. I would need to do a trial piece before committing any model to this kind of work. Something to consider for the future.

I still need to add the glazing & seating

Whew! That's a beautiful rake of coaches. The finish is very nice - easily the best representation of teak I have seen.

There is a way to get the curve out of the WD Models F wagons.
Unfortunately I do not know the details, but I think it involves hot water!
Perhaps others on this forum who have done it can explain?
