K1 Garratt Project (14) - Getting the paint shop ready ...

To give the loco a good base coat I wanted to prime it with some acrylic spray paint. So I improvised a basic spray paint 'booth'; a rummage in the garage yielded a couple of bits of shelving and a couple of large green chopping boards. All screwed together, rather basic but will do the job.

the loco taken apart....
ready to cover the bits that shouldn't be painted; now where did I put the masking tape ?.....

hopefully some warmer weather approaching this coming weekend, I'll set myself up in garage and get spraying....
