Impressive work as usual Missy.

I missed the earlier posts, what is the basis of your Railcar? Is it the Worsley Works etch or did you build it from scratch?

Hello

Impressive work as usual Missy.

 

I missed the earlier posts, what is the basis of your Railcar? Is it the Worsley Works etch or did you build it from scratch?

Thank you. You are right, its the AEC Single Unit etch from Worsley Works.

Elvis is looking good! Do you fancy doing the lining on my Mk.1 conversion?

Tom

I would love to help but as you might have noticed I am not the fastest of modellers plus I have quite a few things on my plate already! I am sure an accomplished modeller like yourself could do them no problems.

Elvis rocks Missy

 

Thanks for the tip re the liquid glass windows - will have to order some - I was previously put off by the sometimes milky effect that can be seen bu those look very clear and sharp - very nice!

Elvis is certianly getting there!

I am pleased with the results of the glazing, in the past I have seen some dodgey results with the liquid stuff but this stuff seems to produce good results. Its never going to be as good as clear sheet but I am impressed.

Missy

missy as fab as ever every time you post i go and cry a little and re start things on grandborough lol

keep it up

Elvis looking good. I'm curious about the white fluffy stuff though. Is he on cloud 9?

Thanks guys

Good to see you have chosen a nice livery for Elvis.

Yes, far nicer than Brown!

Thanks Andy. No, its just me being a bit rubbish at controlling may camera (again!). Its actually light green grass, well that or some kind of omen?

excellent as always although I found Kristal clear can dry heavy unless you apply it to a level window how did you manage to get it so even?

whats the plan regarding the wheels wil you replace or turn down ?

Ahhh, my secret was to keep the window horizontal until the stuff went clear. I used a conbination of various props and blu-tack to achieve it. My plan right now is to replace the wheels with 2mm ones, I have heard thats its a pretty straightforward thing to do but as you know in 2mm land that can mean anything!

Hehe, I was just kidding Although you are much braver than me going down the bow pen route. Not sure my hand is steady enough for that!

Tom.

I know you were Tom . Trust me though there is a sheet of white plasticard somewhere here thats absolutely covered in thin black lines!

Noooooo! Dont do that Nigel! Be inspired!

Lovely - that is a cruel close up but I think it goes to show how worthwhile it was spending time getting the shape of the cabs right - I know you spent hours over them and it looks wonderful. I never saw these units in the flesh, but comparing to black and white photographs you've got it pretty much spot on for me!

I have to say that the black line looks fine to me, even in close up. But yes, that's looking really nice.

Magnificent work, as always Missy. Have watched the evolution of your cattle dock, and every time I get that one step closer to wanting to re-do mine. it just the fact that mine is 10 times bigger that is stopping me .
