RSS Fetcher Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Well this could be my last ever blog update, (I can hear the cheers from here already), because if the Domestic Overlord ever reads this I'm DEAD. Did you read that Mikkel my tragic demise may be imminent and I blame you for all of this, thanks to the encouragement I have managed to get a little modelling time, and I spent it playing with my cobbels.progress has not exactly been rapid, but I have managed to use up my supply of cobbles, I'm still not 100% happy with how it looks, but if I decide to keep them a lot of weathering may improve things.The problem with this meant I had to do some work on the tram that will run up and down the street, which meant I could get some of my weapon of mass destruction out from the DO's hiding place see what mischief I could get up to. The starting point was the old typhoo promotional tram from more years back that I care to remember.A little paint stripper, soon got the paint off the tram, which mean I could load my mini-drill up with a new cutting disc and I set to work.after a bit of cutting, I managed to keep all my fingers and got to the stage where I could drill out some of the blocked in upper widows and do a little clean up work with some small files. Progress was a little better than I thought it would be (its been weeks in the process so far) and I managed to get a little primer on the body and a test fit on the chassis and ITS ALIVE, IT ACTAULLY WORKS (Insert evil laugh here). The problem is I now have another two to work on The problem is I now have another two to work on This is not the reason the DO may kill me, well I don't think it is, but you can only be killed once? Anyway the reason I may be killed is that a recent Evil bay expedition has resulted in two Standard 4 tanks finding their way into my grubby little mitts. Now I only bought these for the chassis, but it got me thinking what use could I make of the bodies being an LMS only modeller?We wont mention the Midland Flatiron, LNWR G2 and the brace of Stanier coaches I have been secretly working on, well its been nice knowing you all, until the next time if there will be one Happy Modelling How Attached thumbnail(s) View the full article Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
