After standing for 24hrs to dry (the glue says 20mins) it’s time for paint. Red for the boards and black for the stand itself. I’ll leave the ties natural.

Into my limited paint stash I got Ferrari Red and black – perfect lol.

I use make up brushes rather than micro brushes for two reasons. 1) they are cheaper 2) the tips are finer.

Black for the switch stand this is 4x zoom on my phone !!!

And there we go ready for installation on the layout.
