After many hours of friggin around on this frame set, I have finally got the Bates to a stage where I thought it was ready for paint. The cantiflex tubes proved to be a real hassle to straighten.
Sorry about the quality of the photos, I will try and post some better ones soon.
I am pretty happy with the result, the off white, 50's green and dark red works well together I think.
This build up will have a nearly full British group set, so stay tuned and I will post some photos when finished.

Adrian - the paint looks great! Was it done locally?
