Just out of interest that “Thurgoland” is near me, Sheffield. Or is it just a name for the Traction Engine!
Looks good so far.

Hi all.
Brian, the gold being one shotdries to a good gloss so no varnishing needed.
LJ Yup dead right Thurgoland is where the engine is stored and yes it is the one near sheffield. Its owned by a guy called Les Donn.
The pic below makes the name board look as bent as Dale Winton but it is really straight as a die.

mm dont know what im doing wrong then ive stired & stired that one shot gold & its never dried gloss always matt

Brian I think were at cross purposes here by imitation gold I mean the mustardy yellow called imitation gold. If you mean the golds and bronzes that one shot do then I agree they do dry flat and need clearing.

aaaahh right i see what you mean never thought of that . I thought the sun was on the piccys and at sometimes it can be deceiving at certain angles which of the two it is
