Delph - Caprotti enlarged

My Caprotti Black 5 has gone for some finishing details and David Clarke has kindly sent me some rather enlarged views of the loco, prior to the work. Overall, I think the model stands up quite well to these larger than full size photos, although there are a few blemishes and omissions apparent.

Excellent work, Dave. I've always had a soft spot for these locos as we had a small clutch of them at Southport. The external condition of yours is somewhat better than the inhabitants of 27C/8M,  a shed which by appearances didn't have a single cleaner on the staff!

David,

Thanks for your kind comments. Mr Clarke has also suggested it looks far too clean for a Caprotti, so I have invited him to render it "more prototypical" if he wishes, so I'll see what happens.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for pointing me to your blog in the last PM.

 

The Caprotti 5 is a stunning piece of work. Considering our conversation in the PMs, the level of detail is incredible. I simply could not achieve that in 4mm. Fantastic!

 

It's very rare I look at blogs on here, but it's clear (if yours is anything to go by), that I'm missing some excellent stuff.

 

Cheers,

Peter
