coombe junction - 37142...Part II...

Update - My wife has gone out tonight, the kids are in bed, so a perfect night to sneak in a bit of modelling, right :) ?...wrong :( ...seem to have lost the mojo tonight...so have thrown the towel in early rather than risk topping up the swear box.

 

A bit more progress on 37142 though - need to buy some more micro drill bits tomorrow to do the handrails on the nose, however I did put some orange and red paint on the pipes/hoses and will tidy up edges tomorrow with a scalpel - Note to self...next time paint the ******* prior to securing with cyno :P

 

The other small thing, which I think makes a big improvement was to use a black permanent marker pen to tone down the faces of the reprofiled wheels. I attach a photo showing one end done to compare and the other photos help portray it better, even though the body could still do with lowering a tad.

With less visible clutter through the bogies...

Thanks Kris - Perhaps it could make a cameo appearance on Avonwick ;)
