New Conveyor
Been a while since I did anything on Summat but after Wigan I left the long conveyor on the parcel shelf in the Scooby and the sun got to it. Half of the plastic deformed like a banana
These sections of the Walthers kit were kindly donated to me by a couple of RMwebbers as I'd already used the large conveyor from my kit to run to the road hopper. Little chance of anyone else having a spare set so I contacted Walthers about the possibility of some spares. Despite an initial favourable response it all went quiet.
Thanks to Pete Harvey for offering to first do a 3D print and then an etch, however someone somewhere mentioned Slaters embossed sheets. I ordered some 4mm corrugated from Gaugemaster and set to them with a scalpel and some Plastic Weld. here's the result:
The second pic shows my construction method, there's five internal braces per 200mm long section. Three sections make the whole conveyor.
I'd forgotten just how satisfying scratchbuilding is with plasticard, very instant
I've brought it into work for a quick coat of grey primer (too cold and damp now for spraying outside at home) then I'll weather it down to match the rest of the building ready for Caistorail on the 13th/14th October
