Superb results, something I shall try. Thanks for the "how to".

Les This isn't the list off RM web that I found years ago - I can't find that. But this list from the Humbrol site may be just as useful. https://www.wonderlandmodels.com/media/resources/Humbrol/HumbrolChart.pdf https://scaleworld.webs.com/Colour%20Charts/Vallejo/Hum-V.png - this is the original cha...

You might find this useful.

Wonderful! Almost a shame to paint it...

Mike

Certainly looks the part. Nicely done.

Mike

That is a cracking bit of coach work!

Mike

Totally in awe Mr Holt! I really hope to see this running sometime next year on Barrow Road. Beautiful work Dave.

Happy Christmas mate.

Mike

Another coach nears completion. Stannier D1845. Just the bogies to put together. There are a few problems with this Comet kit, it's not entirely accurate. Guards doors are too wide and the vent space above the toilet is way too big, it should be the same size as the rest of the vents on the passenge...

That Sir, is bloody impressive!!

Mike

Nice little mover - very smooth. Congrats.

Mike

Thanks Noel - that's really helpful. I shall send an order off to Fox. The chassis and body build for the coach has been completed. Just the bogies to do now. Stannier Corr compo D1791 b.jpg Stannier Corr compo D1791 c.jpg I do like building coaches, but painting will have to wait till next year! St...

It should come out as a faded white. But that'll be when the weather is warmer and I can get a coat of primer on. I'm still trying to find out what transfers I need to complete it as well. So if anyone knows I'd appreciate the heads up.

Mike

Nearly there with D1791. Ventilators to go on and train brake gear. Then the bogies to build.



Have a good weekend all, stay safe.

Mike

Brilliant modelling Dave. I notice you've dropped the wheels out while doing this. How does the kit allow for that to happen or how have you engineered a solution to that problem. Having never built a Brassmasters kit, I'm just curious.

Stay safe

While the latest lockdown has been going on I haven't wasted time. Here's a few of freight stock that's been completed. Rumney models Fish van, excellent kit. Fish van 6.jpg BR 5 plank open, again Rumney chassis. BR 5 plank 1.jpg And a BR 12t plywood van, waiting for castings to arrive to complete t...

Staples transparency film, cut on white paper, picked up in tweezers. Inside window opening given a quick brush with Johnson's clear. Move the film into place, add more Clear with the brush - capilliary action will drag it into place. Do a side at a time and leave to dry before starting the other si...

Massive thank you to eveyone involved in sorting this out. Some brilliant modelling to look at and really useful links to help with wagons and scenics.

I especially liked the Zoom 'pop up' meets. Anyway, a big thank you.

No Ivan that would be a Welsh sheepdog.

So both the BR standard 5 and Collet 2227 are in a state where they run. 2227 is completely finished and requires no further work. https://youtu.be/dOmhatUBOcI The std 5 requires more work. There is a passing problem between the connecting rod and the first driver, that'll be sorted with my P4 model...

Looking forward to it Danny. Many thanks to you and the committee for organising this. Missing my trip to Aylesbury.

Mike

You could send the whole plan to someone who can laser cut the plan in one go. Save a fair bit of work. There are various people who do this. As I've started Hengoed HL, Intentio have done mine. It didn't break the bank, I was really surprised. The next set of point work will becoming there way once...

Thanks again Noel. Super useful. But a bit late on this build.

Mike

Thanks Noel. Have you got a picture of this. 73024 isn’t in any of my books. Which is why it’s the way it is.

Mike

Time for another catch up. The 2251 is almost complete. Waiting for the weather to improve to get some weathering done. And no sign of ''lurchey ride, hesitant pickup, and compromised haulage". Still, you can't have everything can you. 2251 finished..jpg In regards to the Std 5, things have mov...

Fair play Gavin, looks the part(s).
