Spring Time for...
...oh I forget his name.
But what I have remembered is I forget to try and not be funny. Then end up not being funny, tragic really.
In other news I have been modelling, alot of modelling to be done in preparation of our next long anticipated exhibition at Middlesbrough within the fortnight.
So, understably I have been rather busy.
First up are some little bits for the layout which included updating this fine beast of a water crane, originally of Hornby decent and now looking more like the type you'd find in North East sheds.
also the missing vacuum pipe on the turntable has been replaced by a brass one which is both sturdier and looked alot better. Hopefully the turntable can make it to the exhibition :S!
I have also been working on a crew for my latest project so I decided to kill two birds with one stone and repaint the Ivatt 4MT crew as they looked unrealistically bright.
This was done mainly (entirely) with Vajello acrylics which are a joy to use .
Finally, but by no means least, my latest project; the Thompson B1 "Nyala". Once more a Stockton (Area 51 ) locomotive this recieved a much cleaner finished than her grubby sisters but it wasn't spared a scar or lick of dirt, I shouldn't have though.
The technique is largely ones I have done before and this is mentioned in an excellent George Dent article in Model Rail edition 183 which a LT pannier tank.
The crew enjoy a nice cupper before the days work is done
Please, let me know what you think.
