Here are a couple more pics of it nearly finished.

you have spent alot more time than I did on mine. Here is mine. It took me about 2-3 hours with 1 tin of paint on a sunny day with a brush. I only got 1 dribble as well!

erm, I used the only green paint that paddocks sold at the time! No idea what the name is but I think there only was 1 colour green at the time it was built I think?

There were loads of colours and ever so slight variations.  One set of DBG could be different to DBG a few years later I heard.

Anyway, the other green it could have been was Pastel Green.
