It's either Roswell or my railway room - cos it's full of UFO's!

Actually I have now completed two of the UFO's so it is not as bad as it was at the beginning of the year. I have also made inroads into several other projects with varying degrees of success so here is the news:

 

ADX

I have started work on the ADX and it is starting to look more like a unit. I need to fill the sides and then sand that back to make it nice a smooth.

The chassis is now built but unmotorised. I will wait to motorise it because DCC is on its way!

 

X2800

I have added some buffers to this model and given it a coat of white primer. It only needs painting and glazing. It will be joined by two refurbished brothers soon!

 

X5600 (FNC) & X5800

These have now been glazed. I need to add a few details to the X5800 but I am quite pleased with the outcome. This was my first go with Micro Kristal Klear. I will be using this again because it is superb for all windows.

 

X2400

The X2400 had a bit of a disaster. The first coat of primer went on but had a slight bubbling so I sanded and added another coat but I added too much so in the end I removed that entire coat and applied another new coat. This time I was more cautious but unfortunately the damage had been done. It wont look terrible but I don't think it will look as amazing as I had hoped.

 

 

Any comments welcome. Many thanks for reading

Thanks Nick. I never used to be bothered by details but that all changed about 2 years ago... Modelling a real location is what did it for me, you have to do it (and the rolling stock) justice.
