Have spent the past few days adding the curvature of the front boiler and amending lines, colours and reflections along it. This will allow me to starting adding finer details on the tender and boiler body over the next few weeks.

With the holidays now here and the mad rush of Christmas Shopping and other festivities all but finished I have had a bit of time to work on the painting a little more. I have added the main boiler, front chimney and other tubes and details to the painting. I have tried to ensure the colours reflected in the boiler represent the sky and the trees surrounding the locomotive but this has been difficult to achieve. Once the first layers of paint have dried on the boiler though I will have the opportunity to add more reflections and other details to the boiler.
