iak Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Some examples of what gets done when I am well enough. Firstly, some "Medfits" in Engineers usage: Parkside and Ratio kits with added trimmings and additions And another batch is pending - destined for a spoil rake... 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iak Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 The BR Standard Van is a myriad and confusing subject. Three separate "diagrams" with variations within those "diagrams." A few examples below will illustrate what I mean and show the sort of silliness I indulge in. Parkside kits form the basis with replacement parts frae such as LMS (Dave Franks), Ambis, Alan Gibson and Exactoscale. And yes this are all built to P4 gauge and have no suspension or compensation. I am sure the Inquisition will be in touch..... 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Western Star Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Thank you for sharing these images... you have captured the mid / late 60s very nicely. regards, Graham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iak Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) A few more van shots for you to ponder on... Weathering has been added to these,both in a subtle and brutal way,as is required by the subject matter... The below image shows a rake of finished Dia.1/208,1/213 & 1/224 vans. I hope the careful tones on the separate roofs shows. Edited June 2, 2017 by iak 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stock is dated for 1977, a period when it seemed anything went. The proverbial dogs breakfast indeed. Mind, considering the way the railway was allowed to decay and fester frae '67 onwards... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iak Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 The dearth of updates on activities at Padgate Works finally is coming to an end. A new image hosting site has provided a stimulus to reactivate my forum activities. Mostyn is bound for Alexandra Palace in a few weeks time so the spoil rake, which has slowly been progressing for some time, is now nearing completion... I hope you can get an idea were things are upto. :thumb Sláinte Iain 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iak Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 Some more progress on the "spoil rake." This collection of shattered, banged up auld stock is ending its useful life in the service of the Engineering Department. All of the below are making their debuts at the annual Alexandra Palace this weekend. Mostyn will be entertaining the punters in its own unique way... These images are not of the finished items, more to come soon...:thumbs: Sláinte Iain 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium polybear Posted March 23, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 23, 2018 I'm sure I'm not the only one who would very much appreciate a "step by step" photo shoot, especially with regard to the use of "finescale" add-ons.

iak Posted August 25, 2018 Author Share Posted August 25, 2018 Its been too long since progress on the 'Spoil Rake' stock has been updated. Basically, the rake is finished and will debut at the next show Mostyn appears at. The crud and the load has been a pleasure to create, I do seem to enjoy creating filth, detritus and muck encrusted rolling stock... More to come soon... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iak Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 Some fresh activities frae darkest Cheshire. Progress with a Grampus.
