After letting the transfers dry, I wasn't happy. I'd reduced the silvering as much as I could, but there was still some. Also, between the big letters, you could see that the clear transfer sheet changed the background colour.
So, nothing ventured, nothing gained, and safe in the knowledge that a healthy dose of weathering could cover all badness, I very lightly cut along the edges of the letters.
Then, using a damp brush, I removed the clear sheet. Some of it could be lifted by sliding a scalpel blade underneath. I've not managed to completely remove it, but most has gone, and I think the effort was worth it.
A quick coat of matt varnish, and I'm pleased with the results. Now to do the other side. I hate picking out the ironwork...

It’s looking great, Phil. Well worth the effort. As someone who also hates picking out ironwork on wagons, can I suggest a Posca pen? I find these are easier than using my own shaky hand to pick it out with paint.
Keep up the good work,
Chris.
