Tinsley Special, 13 003 Part 3, Doors & Painting

Evening all, in between all this football iv managed to get a bit of modelling done.

 

The class 13 is slowly coming along, since the last update iv got some small details added but the biggest job left to do was change the doors from wooden to steel panelled looking ones.

 

After a bit of a think i came up with a plan, first job was cutting some plasticard to fill up the recessed panal, easy enough and then milliput the gaps.

To create the curved corners of the steel panalled doors, i filed away the top of the doors from the bottom of the window, enough so that i could glue some plasticard over to keep things flush. Once all had set i cut out the window & filed the corners round. Gives a prety good impression i think.

Once i was happy with the corners i filed out a recess at the bottom to give an inpression of the lower door handles.

After that it was a quick tidy up and a wash and out came masking tape & the primer, all was going well so out came the rail blue.

Second coat went on tonight on the bodies, so most of tonight was getting the chassis painted and tidied up.

I like your method of holding the bodies for spraying. I assume they are the tubes from kitchen towel rolls.
