Mega Update!
Right, I only just realized how much modelling I have been doing, and I have yet to post any of it. I better change that then...
First up is something from last year, a caboose where I off-set the position of the cupola from the center.
A before and after picture.
Shay No 1 now has a hand cut wood load. The loco has since been weathered.
Inspired by an article in the Narrow Gauge & Short Line Gazette, I decided to make a track cleaner for my layout; following the principles of KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid.
Two nails were glued to a block of MDF with rounded ends.
Holes for the nails where marked on the boxcars underside.
Hey presto! Simple but effective.
Finally, I got a Bachmann Plymouth diesel recently, but as it was HO, it needed changing a tad.
I also wanted to try out some heavy weathering on this loco, so I started off with some heavy rust patches, covered them with white-tac and then painted on the main coat of yellow. Once the tac was pealed away it gave a paint pealing effect. Also, note the scratch built silencer on the nose made from kit sprue and plasticard.
It was weathered further with acrylic washes and dry brushing. The locos cab was then glazed and a roof was added.
I hope you like what I have been doing so far this year. But that is not all, I also have some British engines to show you.
Until next time.
