4mm/00 Falcon Brass ROD 30xx GWR Top Feed Variant

This is my first ever attempt at blogging so it is a little bewildering to say the least.:unsure:

 

I thought I would start a fresh with something new on my bench as well as later transferring over my other lingering projects from the old forum.:rolleyes:

 

The Falcon Brass kits seem to have a bit of a bad reputation so I'm keen to get on and build it to see why.

I'm hoping to complete it in time for a close friends layout which will make its d?©but at Hull next month so its going to be hit and miss as to whether I complete it or not as well as not falling out with the wife while spending all my spare time hunched over the workbench......

 

It will be the GWR version with the top feeds finished in early 30's GWR green with the shirtbutton on the tender.

 

I've only just started on the chassis this morning so I will have some updates later over the weekend.

I want to be the first to wish you all the good luck in the world - you will need it ;)

 

Post plenty of pics of the build please as I think I have a crushed one somewhere in a scrap metal box. When I finally lose my rag with a kit - it usually lends itself to a temper tantrum IIRC this was one of them. :(

 

Though having said that I also recall having seen one built on a layout - so it is possible with skillful metal work ... but am not sure about that time frame and your sanity :D
