Twirly thing!
... as my girlfriend calls it!
anyway Sorry, I've been really busy at the moment and even now, I'm readying myself for a three night comedy show. I'll blatently plug it too, again. http://www.facebook....57209164384831/
But as well as the match truck, I've been budy with a club project. A Peco OO gauge turntable, anyway, this had been built up and mechanised long before I came to the club and what with the old layout taking priority it remained missing for upwards of 5 years.
Anway it returned and after some major issues with the mechanism were rectified it was handed to me to do my "magic" or "ruin it" or whatever!
Anyway...
The turntable bridge was updated by plastic "t" stripe giving it a supported look, followed by two shoulders the vac tanks I had decided to put on in my "wisdom".
I also added a vac hose for logical reasons.
The vac tank were just some pink tube with the ends filled with milliput and files, sanded and beaten to shape. Alot of the latter ensured.
Both the well and bridge was primer grey with the bridge then being painted dark sea grey.
Unfortuatly I don't have any pics of the intermiate process of painting and weathering... just the finished product. The Turntable was given some very heavy weathering along with Humbrol gloss cote for to represent water, some cooky flock to represent that pescy weed and grass problem infastructure gains and coal to represent... coal!
Anyway it's nearly finish, all that is needed now is the mechansim to be readded and for the rest of the layout to get finished!
Your thoughts guys?
